After succesfully changing the HD in my Classic to a 100mb I then went about the process of initializing it so I can put on system 7.0.1. I booted up with Apple HD SC setup 7.3.5 and started to initialize. It starts no problem but after a couple of minutes a bomb error appears saying 'system error bad f-line'. Before you go to a *whole* lot of trouble with other formatters, ritual sacrifice, etc., have you made sure that the new HD has termination resistors installed? If not, then communication between the Mac and the drive can be sort of iffy. The dreaded "bad f-line" error message can easily result from the Mac getting some bent bits back from the drive. -- Prof. Thomas H.
