Not likely - the only difference between the drive connectors is the
single pin used to select either drive.  Everything else is in parallel
between the two connectors.  If the write enable signal isn't getting
to the drive, it is probably a dry solder joint on the second drive
connector, or a broken track between the two connectors.
