Yesterday, I was upgrading a G3 MT with a Maxtor 80 GB main drive (ATA) and adding a JAZ 1 GB (SCSI).
266 MHz (was to be upgraded to a 400 MHZ, but didn't get that far), 750 MB RAM, original floppy and 24x CD, SCSI IBM 4 GB internal hard drive for the duration of the upgrade, and the added 2 drives above. On first start up - and through several OS upgrades on the hard drive - everything was going just fine. I had followed suggested protocol and had partitioned the new hard drive to 8 GB and 72 GB, with the smaller reserved for future use with OS X and the larger for OS 9. Started with an original CD install for G3 of OS 8.5, and worked up to OS 9.2.1. Did a complete rebuild of the desktops of both hard drives and successfully brought it all back online with everything working, including a 9 GB external. Closed down for supper, and have not been able to get it to run since. The computer does NOT chime, and starts up with a blank, white, off-center panel, with a tiny line of print reading "1, unknown word_". My programming experience in the '70s and '80s with Apple 2s suggests this is a programmers access, but I haven't a clue how to proceed. Any help out there ?
