How exactly are you able to access the Classic HD from the Wallstreet
via SCSI without the Classic being booted? Is it something akin to
Target Disk Mode? I wasn't aware that older Macs had that capability.
Are you sure you're accessing the HD and not the disk image on the
Wallstreet? Perhaps your system file became "un-blessed" I've heard of
this happening, but not sure how to fix it. Have you tried zapping the
PRAM? Have you tried booting off a floppy?
