My A1200 does the same thing with a new 20GB HD.  I had fried my 6GB (and EZ-IDE) by inserting the cable backwards so I assumed I did some damage there.   The HD light stays on, although it flickers when the disk is accessed so it's okay I guess.

This is normal with newer drives. Mine does it with a Maxor.

Something in the newer UDMA spec changed the function of a ground line which (by chance) the A1200 relies on for the LED.


That makes sense.  The drive I got was an ATA-6 drive.  Thanks for the info.
