>Michael, the HD's are different between the two (stock) machines. The 280 >(2X0) uses SCSI, the 2300 (stock) uses IDE.

If memory serves, the IDE connector is just above the connector for the trackpad on the 2300... the scsi junction is to the right (physically on the board when facing it). You can't accidentially use an IDE cable with the SCSI junction. However, dumb as it may seem, try resetting the PRAM three or four times in a row, too.
