You may have to unmount the dvd drive and loot at the top label, they typically show there if not imprinted into the metal casing.
Already did that. Got everything working. 🙂 I have an external 500 GB drive partitioned into 2 250 GB drives: one for OS9 and the other for OSX -the two lowest drives. The new internal storage is also 250 GB. I left the shielding off the back of the DVD ROM and new SSD; it only gets in the way.

Edited to add: the cable sitting on top of the new HD is for connecting flash drives.
