I've given the case a few decent cleanings lately, but I'll go in there again and try checking for metal particles and such.
Regarding all this hard drive stuff - I'm pretty sure I set the jumpers on the new drive right. It came with one jumper, which I put on the pins marked for "ID BIT 0," which I assume is the one I want. It sounds like there's a lot of ifs with internal SCSI devices here; could I just disconnect the entire SCSI chain from the motherboard and run it with just the floppy drive to eliminate that potential for error, or will it refuse to start up without that attached?
