I've just joined the list, nice to know some of the older Macs are still going strong! I have a IIsi which has a non-responsive hard drive... I had to buy a PC (ouch) because my workplace was using them and I was doing work at home as well and I needed internet access... Turned the IIsi off and it sat for a couple of months. Next time I turned it on the hard drive wouldn't spin up. It will happily load from floppies. Have been told that it's the grease in the little hard drive motor which thickens if not in use. Any suggestions? I have a few short stories on the hard drive...
Eva, re your 400k disk problem... maybe someone on the list could help to transfer the files to a better medium? Have you looked for data recovery services (horribly expensive I know). I am in Australia, but on another list there has been info on data recovery by US services - let me know if you would like me to post it on this list for you :-)
