Zap pram, boot from a floppy then see if the drive is visible. Also the 700'is notorious for having a blanket of dust under the motherboard and causing issues.
If you can I would set the drives ID to zero as that's what the Mac searches for in boot devices, 0,1,2......... It's why the zip has 5 and 6. Also your scsi drive may be dying.

Caps on a Quadra 700 are all solid state tantalum so I don't think that's it. It could be as simple as losing the startup device in the PRAM. Have you tried booting with command+option+shift+delete+6 to boot from SCSI ID 6? If the Zip was a parallel zip instead of SCSI, it could have smoked the SCSI chip. http://www.iomega.com/support/tswizard/tutorials/tw013.html - Dylan -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
