This is nothing new, but here it goes. My PB180 hard drive died a few years back, but 
last 
month or so I got one of those ATDX SCSI to IDE adapters, and a 815Mb IDE drive. So, a 
few 
cringes after, I was able to stick both the devices in the old Apple drive space(it's 
not that hard, 
by the way - I only had to twist one hinge of the metal casing near a screw, and it 
fit like a 
charm).

So, I turn my powerbook on, and I hear the IDE disc boot-up to my joy. Yet, no drive 
on 
tracker. Very well, So I stick Disc Tools in it... and nothing. The Patched HD Format, 
nothing 
at all. And SCSI Probe says that the bus is not terminated, and shows equally no hard 
drive. 
I'm pretty sure that I set the dip switches to termination - anyone had simmilar 
problems? Or is 
the card plain dead?
