No lights, no sounds of moving heads. Bummer. And, the BIOS still shows "0 MB" in the drive specs.
Yes - you're right. 2 cables. The controller cable (think that's what it's called) is the wide one, the data cable is the narrower one. I identified the "1" pin on the controller card and checked to be sure the cables are attached correctly. There's another set of pins for a 2nd narrow cable located on the card between where I have the cables connected right now. That particular set of pins is covered with dust, whereas the other sets of pins were shiny and clean...ergo, I figured the clean pins are where the connectors have been all these years.
Just wondering....why would the IDE Primary Master automatically show as disabled in BIOS whenever I insert the ST225 controller card in an ISA slot??
