Okay, I'm really feeling like a goob right now.
I was looking at the way the SCSI cable is installed
in the case and disconnected the HD, and CDROM to get
a clearer picture of how the cable is connected and
threaded in the case; I reconnected everything and
restarted. . and got a gray screen. After fiddling
around, I realize that there's a problem with the
CDROM in the SCSI chain that's stopping the startup
process (chime, everything except the CDROM powers up
and then the gray screen).
BTW, all termination and IDs are at factory defaults.
I've checked to make sure everything is connected at
both ends and was able to get the CD tray to open
once, but nothing since then. I've disconnected the
CDROM so that I can start up the machine and use it;
but now, I don't have the CDROM to use.
What could I have possibly done to end up with a
non-functioning CDROM?
Help!!!
