    Had the drive ever been used in any other machine? Had any ide device
    ever been used in this machine before? It really sounds like a hardware
    problem, since I can't think of anything software could do to make that
    kind of current go through the flash drive.

    I remember seeing the controller chip on a 730MB quantum scsi drive
    start to glow red many years ago, just before the drive stopped
    responding to the system (and I turned off the power). Hardware does
    fail. It almost never has anything to do with software.
