I checked all capacitors and all were good.

I have a 50 pin internal SCSI cable on the way from eBay.

EDIT: I can't seem to get SCSIProbe 5.2 working, the patched HD SC Setup says it cannot detect any SCSI devices connected, and Blue Disk Manager cannot detect any SCSI devices connected either. I'm working on getting System 7 booted with a RAM disk since it makes it alot easier (the picture you see above, you can see the RAM Disk mounted) and System 7 does like the idea of FloppySwappy™ games very well indeed. (System 6 isn't too bad on that, but still...it's a lot better with a RAM Disk).

Maybe it's the connector. Sure would be a lame way to ruin a party. Even if the HDD cannot present a valid boot folder, that's still no excuse not to be detected.

Heck if I made computers like Apple, all computers would have a basic OS like the Classic in ROM. And all would be cablable of detecting illogical operations by faulty connections. (Ain't hard, just say you're getting an improper signal from port XX: how hard can it be?)

Any idea why this machine won't boot from System 7.5 Network Access Disk? (Blessed folder and all)
