CF Card reader issue in 3000 LE

I had a regular MPC 3000 where this drive worked perfectly in.

I did some surgery and moved it into my new 3000 LE, but now all of the lights on the drive stay on and the machine will not read the drive.

I have a MCDISK2, any thoughts?

is the cable in the wrong way around?

I thought that it could be so i flipped it around, didn't seem to be the problem though.

Anyone have a pic of the cable from the rear scsi port? the red dots are supposed face left, no?

ah, figured it out. something's bad on the scsi board =(

That sucks big time.

Keep us posted on the fix mate.

ah, turns out the scsi board just didn't like the mother board.

the other board worked in the other machine, but wouldn't work in this one. so strange.

Which board worked in which machine? The spare board in the LE or the LE board in the spare?

Sounds to me like the SCSI fuse which is the first thing I would check. If that's OK, I'd swap the SCSI cables. There's only so many thigns that can go wrong.

The LE SCSI board worked with the LE Motherboard and the reg SCSI worked in the reg motherboard.

Since I transplanted my regular motherboard into my LE (since I have OS 3.50 and sliced the floppy power to work w/ the internal CF card reader attached to the regular motherboard), I wanted to swap the LE SCSI board since the part is newer into my regular motherboard, but they didn't work together. Odd, because theoretically they should work fine.

The boards work fine paired with their original motherboards.
