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.
