Nope. Internal drive was the first to ship an ATA. There was no caddy mating needed - no different than
the Pismo had except to secure it in place. I have 3 of them. Two 520Cs and a 540C.

Then why do all the sites dealing with Blackbird drive replacement show a SCSI drive or an ATA drive with SCSI caddy? I'm pretty sure my 520c came with an internal SCSI drive.

"The hard drive -- a modern IBM drive -- had a special circuit board strapped to it to convert the IDE interface to Apple's old standard, SCSI."

I think some of the larger drive options for the Blackbird shipped with just such a setup, ATA drive in SCSI adapter.
