Haven't tried, and I'm hesitant to mess around with it, since it's this
machine and if I've done something to fouled it up, I don't want to make
it worse. The CD-ROM used to work on the secondary IDE channel, but
won't now. Could I have fried the secondary IDE controller?

It looks like I did it right, but I'll try switching it to see.

Thanks to both of you for your ideas.
