Get a formatter/mounter like Lido 7.56. It fits on a floppy. And it can be used with a System 6 boot disk to try and mount your dead drive, if the drive's platters haven't stopped spinning. If your Mac can't read its internal drive, it may very well have frozen up. Jeff -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
