I fried my //c in a similar manner. I had a generic-type external
drive and the connector plugged in either way - I had no idea which was
correct. I'd plugged it in backwards before with no ill effects; just
turning it around worked fine. This particular time I had the drive
case open since it was easier to reverse the plug there and was so eager
to do it I forgot to turn off the power... POP! and there goes my IWM.
Burned out the '125 in the drive too. However, my Unidisk DOES work...
I wonder if plugging the 5.25 in the back of the unidisk would make a
difference...
