It's rev. B or Rev. C. Which is good. But with only one device on each cable, it shouldn't matter any way.
So, if you plug in either the CDROM drive or the IDE hard drive into either of the IDE ports, the machine does not boot?
If that's the case, one last long shot, try a different memory stick. Why? It's possible that you have a faulty memory location and that the IDE's driver is always occupying the same location in memory, and that the two happen to correspond. Like I wrote, it is a long shot.
I'm just having trouble accepting that both IDE ports would be bad. I don't think I've ever seen that in a Beige before.
