Also, if the cable is a cable select cable, as evidenced by having a

cable.
"Should be jumpered" for CS a bit strong. I'd say "may". I don't have
any machines which use CS, and I do have a few CS cables. And I think
you have the colors mixed up. IIRC, the blue end is for the MB.
Also as a reference, these 80 pin cables should NEVER be turned end for
end, as its only the black connector that is suppposed to be plugged
into the motherboard that has the proper grounding connected to the
alternate wires in that 80 conductor cable, thereby serving as
interconductor shielding by haveing a grounded wire between each active
wire, thereby reducing crosstalk by a considerable amount.
Other than getting the color wrong, this is also good advice.
Have you checked your setup?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
