I solved this tough issue by using the SCSI hard drive cable from a Quadra
900, 950, PPC 800, 840, so it has forked ends for two or more hard drives.
Same for the power cable from a Centris 610, PPC 6100/60 or any Mac with an
internal CD ROM whose cable end matches the LC's to the mother board.
Laying the broken hard drive on the good one, the Y cables connected, SCSI
ID numbers differing, I have simply to boot the good drive, and remove the
finder from the bad drive to the trash, and copy the system folder from the
good one to the bad.
Most elegant and workable solution I've ever used.
