Horns of a dilemma, Part I.
Wanted a fresh 8500/132, so I formatted the internal
1.2 GB Quantum Fireball hard drive with Silverlining
5.x.x (the Apple Setup didn't want to do the
intialization.....). Everything went fine so I
partitioned the drive into two equal parts Apple I and
Apple II. MacOS 8.5-->8.6 onto I and 7.6-7.6.1 onto
II. Still fine. Shutdown to restart later. When I did,
the 8500/132 froze up immediately and I have no access
via the CD-ROM, external SCSI or floppy drive. It just
won't start-up properly even though it sounds the
resonant chord, displays a gray screen and arrow. It
doesn't git to the Happy Mac.
What happened? Does this have anything to do with the
kind of internal SCSI bus the 8500/132 has? Was
Silverlining incompatible and of course, WHAT IN
MINERVA AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW!?
I thought I thunk I saw this thing had been formatted
by an FWB utility and I saw "hammerhead" somewhere in
the TechTool report during the check-out run of that
utility. Everything seemed fine. May have broke
something that didn't need fixed. Just wanted it
fresh.......would appreciate mega-feedback so I can
resolve this soon.
