..and was it a weird one!!
The problem was the figgin' JUMPER on the master/slave pins.. YES!! THE
JUMPER!
The jumper was the only thing that remained the same throughout all my tests.
I chanced the CD-ROM a number of times but moved the jumper with it each time.
I finally hit the mothball fleet of old drives and grabbed a different jumper
after changing drives, CD-ROMS, IDE cables, and everything else I could think
of, put the "new" jumper on "slave" on the CDROM and VOLIA! It worked!
I laughed for about 30 minutes.
What a trip.
