That's the first thing I would check (it may be in such a position that when it heats up, something expands and breaks contact). Reseat both ends of the cable. (one end is clipped in on some Macs, but not on others) On a separate note, does anyone know the difference between a Q250 version 25 and a Q250 version 66 (as reported by SCSIProbe)? -- Matthew T.
