Is there some secret to installing a drive internally in a Station?

Yesterday I took an external Maxtor LXT-340 (originally used with a Mac) that  
wasn't in use and decided it would be a good guinea pig for a 3.0 install.   
My intention was that after installing 3.0, I'd swap it with the Quantum 105  
internal on a recently acquired (used) Station.

The 3.0 installation proceeded smoothly (i.e. the system recognized the  
drive, etc.) and terminated normally.

However, when I swapped the drive into the Station, *nothing * I did could  
get it to even see that it was there (i.e. it wasn't seeing it on the bus.)
I'd get "boot device not found" errors every time.  Now, I of course  
installed the termination resistors (got the polarity right too) and jumpered  
the correct pins for SCSI address 1 and I also tried 0.

No difference.

After several hours of frustration, I swapped the Quantum back, and  
reinstalled the Maxtor in the external case (taking out the termination  
resistors) and everything worked normally.

Anyone have any bright ideas on this one?
