Just a quick thought... where are you located? This sounds like an

There are a few documents here and there on the drive, though nothing as

The rest of the times, the machine acts as if it's a Lisa without a har
I've got an update regarding the problem with my Lisa's Widget. It
appears that if the drive is disconnected, the system will go straight to
the boot process, but when connected, the system hangs at the rectangular
screen with the hourglass for some time before it attempts to boot from the

wong voltages have been going to the device for a while. Which would you
prefer?

Did you get an error number from your widget drive?
