Thanks again for all the potentially useful replies.
I found an older SATA drive with a 1.5Gb/3Gb jumper -- that wouldn't
work either.
And then, guess what? I replaced the SATA cable, and now it all works
perfectly.
Try not to think of it as time wasted, more as a lesson (re-)learnt.
In my defence, the cable must have been border-line: it was working very
recently (i.e. this morning).
cheers
Chris
