Replace the IDE cables, and make sure you use the 40-pin variety before
testing 80-pin types-- also make sure neither is set to Cable select.

Believe me, foaming at the mouth and checking things while the cables were
broken has wasted more of my time than any other single cause. Cables are
slip-fit and IDC and they _vibrate_ all the time, so they are a real weak
point.
