The first one sounds like an ok ready-up, if the cable is bad, then the second one could be scrambled signalling

Wrong!
Data cable connectors are separate for each of the drives.
Control cable connector is only one - in this case, there can be two HDDs on one control cable.
Some controllers even allow for four HDDs, all on one control cable.
The other 34-pin connector is for FDDs.

Exactly this. The 34-pin connector on the far right was indeed connected to a 3,5" floppy disk drive.
I'll try to fix the cable this weekend and test the hard drive on Monday.
