I have tried to install a new OS on the HD. I also tried using disk tools to reformat the drive. The problem is that neither program can "see" the new HD, nor is there a HD icon on the desktop. It will boot fro a floppy however, and it shows all the ram etc. When I was in the computer, everything looked clean. I understand SCSI and termination, but I'm not sure how to check the termination resistors. The HD that's in it now is an apple drive. It's just a little larger and newer than the old one.

I though that the original drive just got stuck as well, now I'm starting to wonder. Hopefully it's just something to do with the termination. So, how do I check the termination resistors?

Thanks for your help.

Have you tried to install an OS on the new HD?
Do you get an icon for the new HD onscreen when you boot from floppy?
Do you know what to look for when I say 'termination resistors'?
