When I plugged
it directly into the motherboard, the BIOS complained
and seemed to indicate 0MB.
I'd try a different computer just to be safe.
Usually drives show up
as all or nothing, not "I'm here but 0 MB".
I've seen drives broken enough that they show up in NetBSD as 0 cyls, 0
heads, 0 sectors/track. (This actually produced a divide-by-zero fault
in the kernel until I fixed the bug. That it took so long to get fixed
is an indication of how common such bugginess is. :-)
