Is the taped wire the power supply wire harness ? With 4 wires ?
I would open up the wiring splice and see what was done to it. The wires should be soldered together and not just twisted and taped.
If this is the problem the wires can be soldered and covered with shrinkwrap.
If the tape is on the flat ribbon cable, throw it away and get another cable because it's not worth trying to fix.

I thought the G3's were all IDE, although some had a SCSI bus thrown in "on the side." So if it's stock config, it's not SCSI and therefore can't be a termination issue.
I would guess it's the "splice" you're referring to. Have you tried replacing the cable?

I have checked the connections between the motherboard and the drive. Upon inspection of the wiring harness, I notice that further down the line, there is a spot wrapped in electrical tape where the previous owner had ?made a splice. I will check into that further. Assuming that the splice is ok, any other ideas? (I am trying to rule out other problems before I get a new drive.) --- Nathan Templeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
An internal drive must be properly terminated, although I'm not sure that would cause the "?" icon and render it invisible to Drive Setup. Have you checked that?
