Bill,
The drive is an IBM DMCA-21440. During the time I had that drive out I tried
to
boot with the factory 5gb in the ultrabay and the primary bay empty. That
also does not work for some reason.
It seems as though I took that one apart to check the cable select jumper, and
found that the connector on the factory ribbon cable covers all the pins so I
can't change any
jumpering on that one.
