Does it mount on the desktop? Maybe you know that non-Apple drives aren't recognised by Apple HD SC Setup, though third-party disk formatters should see it if it's still alive. Ernst J. Oud's web page "Formatting Macintosh SCSI drives" has a host of suggestions and links to formatting software: http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/scsi.html One way to tell if the drive is spinning up is to temporarily stick a toothpick through the SE's fan blades to stop them whirring, and then listen for drive noise. No noise probably means no drive.... If it seems dead, the problem may be "stiction", discussed here: http://ccadams.org/se/stiction.html Good luck, Chris Adams. --- The Mac SE Support Pages http://ccadams.org/se/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
