My guess would be that the truth is, the externally-visible switch on the enclosure is set to 5 (or 4), but the enclosure's wiring between that switch and the disk is not connected, so the disk proper naturally enough responds as target 0. Depending on the drive, the wiring, and your comfort level with such things, one option might be to open the enclosure and connect that wiring - or, if the connectors are mechanically incompatible, add jumpers (probably on the drive) to set whatever ID you want.
My comfort level is high... I just remember it working. I have this thing forever, literally don't remember how I got it, but in the dawn of age I exchanged the internal 400MB drive with a 2GB one, as I did with the IPC. Now these 50pin themselves are a rarity, but I see there is space for an adapter inside, so I could try.
I opened the enclosure - yes it is the classic 411 - and the connector from back to the drive is a flat cable which broke... those things don't last. darn.
I'll fix-wire it to e.g. ID 4 and retry using it as temporary swap. But next week. In the meanwhile I'll dust off the interior.
