I was attempting to install to the master drive of the two on the same port. The slave, which I installed myself, hasn't been fdisked or formatted, so it is invisible to the software, but visible to the BIOS, which could not care less whether it is formatted. Worth a check, but I did pore over the diagrams carefully to get the jumpers, I hope, right. The previous version was installed this same way, boot diskette, then install from CD-Rom. It boots just fine to the older version on disk with no boot diskette. Wonder if there is any way to trigger install of the new version from a running old one?
