Scott, et al,
It WAS the harness. It took a couple of weeks, but I got another CC and another 630 harness. I first switched the two chassises [?] to see if the analog board had anything to with it; it did not. (That was a mistaken "newbie" assumption on my part.) I then wired the new connector harness and installed it in the original CC. It worked like a charm - no "disk initialization error". Furthermore, the picture on the monitor is beautiful, very little border and no distortion (hi-res upgrade).

I checked the old harness with a meter and it seems that all wires conduct just fine. Maybe it was a crossed wire or a loose connector.

I did a regular VGA upgrade on the newer CC, but it has fat black borders. I might try the capacitor fix. I have a 575 board in it running 7.5.1 (I think). I might upgrade it to a PowerCC too, or install a CD, or a Zip drive, or a... - I'm heady with success here!! :-)

Thanks for the help. Now on to a TV upgrade...
