If only it was that simple Sega screwed U.K gamers over with the fact we have to buy totally new consoles due to the wires of the disk drive being soldered in rather than clipped in.
My HKT-3020 console, NTSC-U revision 1, manufactured in Japan during 4/2000, does not have the orange cable shown in step 5. I was able to skip steps 5 and 6, and for step 7 I had to remove 3 screws, not 2. My GD-ROM drive came as an assembly, mounted on a metal plate; the entire assembly simply lowers into a connector port. After removing the screws, I just had to gently wiggle it up and out of the port, then lower the replacement assembly into the same port, and replace the 3 screws.
