Well, if this description is right, it confirms my suspicion that
my 2300c arrived with an IDE cable and a SCSI drive. There are pins
on the drive which aren't covered by the connector and there are
wire traces in the cable which connect to pins in the connector
which don't align with anything on the drive. I'm really starting
to think that the logic board is okay.
Thanks,
Kris Feldmann
