Would the HD work if the converter was toast?
ID is set at 6 (closest to motherboard). This computer did work before I reformatted the drive. I had ran 9.1 for 2 years straight, only an occasional Norton diskdoctor run.
Pretty dependable machine. Since I did not change the termination, I don't think that is what it is.
Hmm.

Termination needs to be at the end of the chain. From the factory Termination is set at the CD drive at ID = 3 This becomes the dependable end of the chain.
Now , the machine will still run with drives beyond this but signals can act funny. And the chain can be unstable.
Set your drive ID to 0 or 1 or 2 with the jumper pins. Look on drive manufacturers website or a drive reference website for details.
You started swapping stuff around and things got wonky. After being " dependable " for years.
After changing ID and resetting everything use disk setup or SCSI probe to make sure ID is below that set for the CD drive.
This is not a hard task at all. You could even just move the jumper clip to the other end of the block and try it. You are sure to get lucky sometime even without referring to a spec sheet.
