Decided today to try to get a little more life out of
the old Wallstreet by putting in a new hd. I had a 30g
Hitachi i bought six months ago and stuck it in.
Holding down the C key I tried to boot to the 10.2
disk, but only got the flashing question mark. This
made no sense so I tried resetting pram, power
manager, tried an external keyboard, used a zip with
9.1 on it, and diskwarrior but no luck.
Wasn't there some issue with the magnet that senses if the case is
closed, and some HD's tripping it falsely?
Yes, that was an issue. I put a 32 Gig IBM Travelstar in mine back
in 2000 and had to tape a thin steel strip to the top of the drive to
fix the problem. The page showing how to do this disappeared off the
Japanese web site that holds it, but I got it through the Way Back
Machine.
