Been there, done that.  :-)  You shifted the connector on the header
by one pin, with disastrous results.  You might pull the drive apart
and take a look (and a sniff) at the analog board - I think you'll
probably find a chip that's blown.  On mine, it was the 74LS125.  Did
it to more than one myself, I'm proud to say. :-/  I never had to do
any work on my Disk II cards, so I think the problem is most likely
isolated to your drive(s).
