I say just snake the 50-pin cable under the screen's white ribbon cable and insert it into the SCSI male connector on the board. BE CAREFUL!!

I never used a 16GB card in my XL. What OS do you have on your XL? I always preferred OS1.14 when dealing with 8GB CF cards and partitioned it into 1GB sections (A-G).
