Check the floppy is ok by booting it on a known good Mac (anything up 7500/8500/9500 sort of era will boot 7.5.3 if i remember right). If that works ok then look to your hard disk and ensure you have the cable in correct (it's pretty hard to get wrong in an LC!), and that the drive is set to an ID that is not 7 and is terminated. As a general rule the Mac will stop at the grey pre-happy Mac screen and refuse to boot if the SCSI is setup really wrong, but it's definitely not always the case, especially if you have one thing right and one thing wrong. Other possibilities include Bad RAM, or loose cables (again there really aren't very many on an LC). You could try booting without extensions (hold SHIFT at the Happy-Mac) incase something loaded on Apple's 7.5.3 Disk Tools disk is disagreeing with the computer. I have successfully run 7.5.3 on an LCIII and LCIII+ so there are no issues as regards OS compatibility in general. -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
