It's a cable problem I think.
With the new drive as master (plus a CD drive) it works.
When I connect the original drive as master (plus CD) that works.
When I set the new drive as "master with slave" and the original drive
is set to slave using a second (original) ribbon cable, the machine
won't boot. I've since found that that original ribbon cable is
damaged at the plug connector.
New ribbon cable required.
Do they come with provision for three devices?
