Dear List: I am posting this message on behalf of a friend.
His 8500 is running OS 10.2.8 (courtesy of X Postfacto), has a Sonnet G3 350 upgrade card, 320MB RAM, a Sonnet Tempo Trio card, a Radeon 7000 card, and three hard drives (two SCSI drives, 4GB and 9.1 GB, and one 30 GB IDE drive). Recently his computer started experiencing issues with one or both SCSI drives. Sometimes these drives will mount. On other occasions only one drive will mount or none will mount at all. Dialogue boxes pop up indicating that there are issues with a drive. I know one of the SCSI drives is making a clicking sound. I have also heard the computer generate a cycling sound as it is attempting to engage one or both of these drives. My best guess is that one or both of these drives is/are dying. Another possibility might have to do with insufficient power being distributed to these components. Any other insights would be appreciated.
