Okay, I jumpered the Motor Start pair. Result: This time, for once, the LC3 started up fine from the zip drive, the monitor fired up okay...but the Imprimis did not. Red light flashed twice on startup and a few more times as extensions loaded, then nothing. I tried changing the Term Power source jumper setting from the drive to the buss, but that didn't help, so I changed it back to its vertical/left position. The hacked version of HD SC Setup cannot see the Imprimis. When I try using Drive Setup 1.7.3 instead, the computer goes into an immediate restart instead of showing the DS window. I've never seen that behavior before. So, a little progress...but not enough. I would hate to give up now. Any views regarding whether the LC3's PSU can handle this drive would be very welcome. I don't have access to any peecee's. BTW I tried banging it on the floor a few times too but if it was stuck, it still is. If I could find another big old extra jumper here, I'd probably give it a different scsi address just to see whatever happens, but I can't find one so far. Thanks, everybody.
