I've been lurking around on the list for a bit while I've waited to see if
things would stabilize on the 2300c I recently acquired (have run two 280c
duos for some time now with no trouble). The 2300 seems to need the power
manager reset quite frequently, otherwise instead of starting up properly
the hard drive goes into a repeated sort of clicking (before the happy mac
appears). Sometimes it appears to start up OK but just gives up part way
through the startup sequence, and then on next startup the clicking happens.
Any thoughts on whether this is likely to be a drive problem, or whether
it's something more serious? (It seems to happen most after extended
activity in SCSI mode, or after being in the minidock charging.)
I'd be grateful if anyone else who has had similar p[roblems would let me
know.
Thanks,
Neil Heyde (in the UK)
