I presume the problem to be the hard drive trying to mount but
failing. The next
step for me to take is opening the case.
I've seen that before, but I don't recall exactly what causes it. I
think it might be an incompatible version of Mac OS or a corrupt System
Folder, but I could be totally off on that.
Does anyone know a good source to find the long shaft screwdriver
required to
open a SE30 case or perhaps have one to sell? Are there any other
special tools
required to work on a SE30?
It is a standard Torx screw, and I got a long Torx (T15) driver at Home
Depot. Sears & Lowe's (and other places) probably carry them too.
I'm sure more questions will follow as I begin working on the unit but
first
need to open it up.
Good luck. The SE/30 is a nice little unit.
