Luke, Thanks for the help. I did hear the drive spin up on start up. No, I didn't get to see it work at the shop. I'm going to try Lido after I get a copy of it. Unfortunately, I don't have a mac that I use to get on line to download a copy of Lido. I think I'll make a run down to Kinkos and use one of their macs to download a copy of Lido and Apple HD SC Setup (patched). I'll let you know how it turns out. I want to try out any options I can before returning to the shop. Thanks again for all your advice.

Did you see it working at the Mac shop? If they had it working and you get home and it isn't, then yeah, my first reaction is that the drive doesn't have the terminator resistors enabled (or maybe they don't exist, if the drive came from a RAID array). They probably had it on a SCSI cable that chained it into an existing system. They can then copy a system on and select it as an alternate Boot device and all is well. Which is fine - until you try to boot standalone and it's no longer terminated. From 12,000 miles away, my diagnosis is: A) get the drive onto a cable that has its own terminator, or B) get the drive itself configured to terminate the bus. If the above turns out to be true, I think it would be fair to say that a red face might be warranted from the guy who installed it and handed it back to a customer without a standalone test :-) Luke -----Original Message----- From: Compact Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Beadle Mark Sent: Sunday, 25 April 2004 11:47 AM To: Compact Macs Subject: Re: [Re: classic II hard drive not recognized] Luke, Thanks for the quick reply. I took the classic II to a mac repair shop to have the drive installed. They claimed that they had it working and installed 7.1 on it. However, as soon as I got it home and powered it up.... all I got was the floppy with flashing "?." I tried the disk tools and I tried to install system 7 on it and in both cases the message was no scsi device recognized. I'll try to call the tech shop back, but they will not open again until Monday. I also wanted to try to get informed about the problem and possible solutions myself. Thanks.
