Last week my intermittent drive problems were solved by, at end,
replacing the ribbon cable.<br><br>

</font>You might want to try the Open Firmware resets. They often
resolve issues that are not solved by any other method. Restart the
<br>
computer. Immediately after the chime, press and hold the Option,
Command, letter "O" and letter "F" keys
simultaneously until <br>
a message appears telling you to release them. (The machine is now
booted into Open Firmware). <br>
<font size=2>Then type the following lines exactly and press the return
key:<br>
</font><br>
<font size=2>reset-nvram (hit the return key)<br>
set-defaults (return)<br>
reset-all (return)<br><br>
The machine will reboot normally from whatever drive you have selected as
the startup disk. If you have not reselected the startup<br>
disk since you have been moving disks around, I would do that
also. Good luck. <br><br>
