Well, just a quick update - I rejumped it ( trying all the
settings ), and I then noted that the drive wasn't spinning up. I
removed the top cover (invalidating the warranty! lol ) and noticed
that the drive didn't spin up at all. I naturally turned it off, spun
the platters around (by the axle, taking care not to touch the
platter surface). I powered it back on, and it spun up!
Well, I reassembled all of it, and the mac just booted perfectly off
the HD! Apparently it is system 6.0.7, so I upgraded it to 6.08.
Here's the current working jumper setting: s1: : : : | : : :
Thanks all

Hello again,
Mr McDermond was kind enough to send me some disks, so my Mac
Plus lives again!
I have another problem I'd like to ask the group about though.
I have a "MacBottom SCSI" that seems to have died. The disk (a
Rodime 50 pin jobby that claims to be assm. in Scotland) is getting
extremely hot and can't be detected with the 'Apple HD SC Setup' on
the Utilities disk for 6.0.8.
There are some jumpers on the bottom of the drive like this -
s1: : : : : : : : Currently, it is jumped like this: s1: : : : : : | :
Anyone know anything about these? Can I just toss a random
SCSI drive (I'd assume there are some interleaving issues ... and I
probably shouldn't use a Cheetah or Barracuda)
Thank you

Actually, if it could be fixed, or if there was a way to get
hold of the 800k version of System 5 or 6 that would be of
interest as well. I couldn't find a way to actually write to
those old floppies :)
Thanks

Where are you in the world? I'm sure someone could send you a
floppy by snail-mail, I will for Europe.
