I've got a couple of those drives and my PC's

problem with it. Make sure you're using a 40 conductor IDE cable,
and not an 80 conductor one. Setting the transfer mode to PIO (Mode
0) might also help.
Assuming the drive spins up, it should at least respond to an
IDENTIFY command.
I suspect it was this simple. I dug out a 40 conductor cable vs. the
80 conductor one in my new box, and plugged it into my old PC (easier
to plug the cable in, even with having to dig it out). Once the
system came up it saw the drive right off, and I've copied it to a
CD-R.
My thanks to everyone that replied!
