Hi Steve, Is this LVD cable attached to a card which supports it?
If your cable has a terminator on the very end, leave it there and make sure that the drive in question is hooked to the second connector from the end. Disable termination on the drive, itself--this jumper must be raising heck while the cable's terminator is on the cable. You _will_ need to keep _this_ cable terminator block attached to the very end of the cable. If all goes well, you may want to hook your 6 Gb hard drive back up to the cable, using the third connector from the end. I am assuming that you have a 4 connector (not including scsi terminator connector) LVD cable. Dollars to doughnuts -that 6 gig drive will come back up--unless it is really kaput. Download a copy of PCI Jackhammer� 1.4.5 from Rourke International. It's a free control panel. Also, see if your drive shows up in Disk First Aid or the Apple System Profiler. If you have SCSI Probe, see if you can get it to mount your drive. If the APS sees the drive, then it can be formatted with Drive Setup.
