So I have been having some problems with my SCSI HD. I accidentally broke the plastic pin holder off the SCSI cable in the computer. I tried to use it anyway and kept getting phase errors. So, I bought a 50 pin cable off ebay. Plugged it in, and now whenever I start the machine, the hard drive light stays on, and the machine freezes at a white screen. It boots fine without the HD so I know that's it. Before I broke the cable, everything was fine. I hear the drive spinning up too. I know the cable is oriented right as the red stripe matches the pin one side on the controller card, and the hard drive is notched...Is it possible that not all 50 pin SCSI cables are created equal? Or did I just get really unlucky and have my hard drive die on me? If it makes any difference, the controller is an octagon 2000.
