What comes to mind for me is that perhaps the cable has come loose at
the back of your IIgs. Maybe there is some buildup of corrosion on
the pins? I had a similar problem with an Apple 5.25 drive once that
ended up beng that. Try unplugging your drive and making sure the
contacts are clean and then plug it back in.
