Are you sure that the 12v portion of the power supply is sufficiant for the
drive? Does it sound like the drive spun up? You could check the 12v and 5v
supplies at the drive.

Try replacing the SCSI cable and/or ohm it out for continuity and shorts. Even
if it ohms out ok the connections at the connectors may make and break when
the cable is move. Meaning, replacing the cable is the only sure test.
