Is this the only drive connected?

If so, then:

(1) the jumper is wrong (despite your efforts). Usually, no jumper is installed/required for a master (hda) drive.

Or (2) the cable/connectors are defective, resulting in the master/slave bit not being seen by the empeg. Highly unlikely here.

Or (3) Toshiba drives are weird. (dunno)

???


Yep, its the only drive. i've tried with and without jumpers, same thing. Which pin is the master/slave bit? I did have to resolder a few of the pins where the ide connector attaches to the board. I didn't assume this to be a possibilty due the the fact the old drive works fine. I guess I'll see if i can't swap drives with someone.
