I found I had to plug my IDE cables in _upside down_ on one box for the drives 
to be detected. No idea what happened there but it worked so I left it. I do 
now what way up they're supposed to be, I've done plenty of this sort of 
thing before.
Very strange. Maybe the plug was in the motherboard upside down too? I didn't 
investigate in case it stopped working. Good thing IDE have "idiot diodes" so 
they don't burn up when they're in upside down.
