Thought has crossed my mind, except I really don't have the time for eBaying

and itty-bitty SCSI drives for notebooks cost a packet. And there's nothing

It's a good thing you're wearing the hat now. I don't pretend to be a
computer expert, but I got a cat's hairball in my Apple IIe keyboard. I
wonder what human hair would do to a 540c?
In the meantime, you could always make faces at the sad Mac (eg., stick your
tongue out while doing a dance).
MicroNet can't be extracted because there's no room on the floppy for it
Yes it can.
RFM!
Launch AppDisk ramdisk, then expand MicroNet.sea into ramdisk.
and, of course, the internal HD isn't accessible.
MicroNet might access it where Apple HD Setup couldn't.
Any other ideas?
Lots, but try
I wonder what human hair would do to a 540c?
Well, my 540c came from Emory University (or so the ID
tag claims). Anyhoo, I opened it up the other day and
there was a boatload of human hair everywhere in it. I
guess it didn't hurt it, but it was just everywhere.
Now it's nice and clean in there!

Ah, always wondered what that app did...

After several attempts to boot (lots of errors, including a no-FPU error) I

Methinks that the password protection has messed with the driver on the HD.

What if:
The 540c has 8.1 on it and the HD is formatted HFS+.
Would HFS+ prevent these old utilities from seeing the HD?
Maybe some flavor of Drive Setup will see it.

No, unfortunately... the Windoze box is IDE all the way... I don't know how
would you connect the drive up the 2.5 drive just uses one fairly
narrow connector which handles data and, I guess,
The problem with Macs and dodgey hard drives is
there's no way to get low level access to ROM routines
for low level formatting a drive. You must boot a
System or Mac OS. Unfortunately if the driver on the
HD is FUBAR or incompatable with a driver on
another disk then you're SOL when it comes to
Well, if you had the SCSI Disk Mode cable and could
get that control panel on a boot disk. :) Then I
suppose you could also connect it to a Mac, but with
the drive fouled up like it is you might still
have the same trouble trying to format it.
Well that's one of the final plans of attack if
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but if you suspect there's
problems with the HD, I would highly recommend finding a different one on
eBay/Yahoo! Who knows, you may get something bigger than what you have

What about using FWB HD toolkit?
Connect the hd in question to a Mac with the FWB Toolkit and fiddle around
with that. Drives I had trouble with were instantly seen and fixed by FWB.

That sounds like a good plan... but where do you get this LaCie
