OK - this drive has jumpers. As had the old one. In a iMac G5. What
about jumper settings?
On SATA drives the jumpers generally aren't used.
The old one had a jumper. ;-) And I put it in the same spot on the new
drive. Can anyone give me a definitive on this? Does using a jumper in
the wrong slot shut down the whole drive?
No. The jumper on a SATA drive restricts it to 1.5Gbs (SATA 1) speed. It
won't have any other effect.
Cable looks fine. Conects well. Can one test it in one way or another?
I've wondered about this, you keep saying "cable" when there are two
"cables" plural for any SATA HD, one is the data cable, the other is
the power cable. Is it possible you're not connecting BOTH cables?
There are two cables. Fits next to each other. Both have small "pegs"
and look the same, though one is wider than the other.
Tried it. Found the small button on the keyboard. No luck.
I don't think you reset the SMU using a "small button on the keyboard"?
I did. Funky stuff flashed past on the screen. That was it. Shoud I
remove the above mentioned jumpers and try again?

I have no idea what you did: SMU resets are not performed when the
computer is powered up, so there should be nothing on the screen - funky
or otherwise
