I managed to reinstall v6.60 and then tried v6.50.  The problem persisted 
under both, i.e. the BIOS does not recognize a hard drive at all.

I don't know. Per above, under Hard Disk the BIOS says "No Drive"

Floppy then HD.

This is the original HD. The problem started when I tried to upgrade. I 
couldn't get the new disk (a Toshiba MK4313MAT) formatted properly and in 
the process somehow screwed things up so that neither disk will work. It is 
also possible that I may not have reinstalled the BIOS properly. I put 
BIOFCEBT.COM, CHGBIOSA.EXE and BIO.SYS on a 720k floppy and inserted it 
after pressing F12 after booting. It seemed to work.
