Could have done. You haven't managed to connect 3 devices to a cable have
you?
Each cable can support 1 or 2 devices. If one, then it must be master. If
two, then one must be master and the other slave.
Does the new adapter have a jumber to change the setting? If not, it is
probably master, so the (1) other drive on the cable must be a slave.
