I have a PowerMac 7300/180 with OS 8.1. All
the Mac OS's I've had on this computer - OS 8.1,8.1 DTE
(Disk tools edition, pitiful, I know.), 7.5.5 - have
had this problem... sometimes, when the computer goes
into sleep mode, or if just the hard disk "sleeps," it
makes a wierd sound, then nothing when it "wakes up."
After that the hard disk won't read, write, or
anything, and I can just run on ram until it locks up,
and I have to power off. The only OS that hasn't done
this for me is Yellow Dog Linux 3.0, so I think it may
yet have something to do with Mac OS. Has anybody else
had this problem? Will getting 8.5/8.6 fix it? My dad
has a 7200/90 with 8.6 and has never had this problem.
Thanx in advance,
ES
