Did I kill my A600?

Xamiche is right man, unfortunately you had it plugged in the wrong way (I suspected, but didn't look too hard as I was at work when posting in your other thread).

The IDE bus can handle a device being plugged in the wrong way for a few seconds, but eventually it'll die...and I'm sad to say yours has indeed been fried :-(

There is an A1200 mobo on eBay.au at the moment...maybe time for an upgrade, given the excuse you now have? Tower conversion anyone? :-)

If it detects any HDD on the bus, be it formatted or not, it will show HD0 when you enter "boot options".

I am assuming that by "BIOS" you mean holding both mouse buttons for start preferences when you turn it on?

CC0 is the PCMCIA port.

Sorry to hear about this man, I know the agony you are feeling :-(

Very, very good news man! :-)
