I was going to say, Elfen, if you can clue me in to any factors you think might affect the cards, I can test them systematically and make like a grid along with a correlation of the effects.
I replaced the 5300 HD cable to no effect. The (Apple 10gb Kanga) HD spins. I boot to OS 9 with an external CD drive. It doesn't recognize anything on the ATA bus... so is this a bus issue?
Actually follow-up; there's a jumper I think on the farthest pin-set from the main 44pins. I think that's probably a 'Master' setting. I think it was there by default, but it was there when I just tested (and I'd previously tested with and without but with the old cable). I can't believe it being jumpered to Master would prevent it from working, but what is the default setting for a 5300's HD?
