That's what IBM supplies for their floppy disk drives, but it should not be used with the hard disk. Use a straight cable, and set the disk address select jumper on the drive appropriately. If you didn't find any ROM at c800:0000, then you may have one of the very old dump XT controllers. I don't know what you have to do to get that to recognize a second drive.
