Book Djini,
I had my 520c/603/166 running just fine, then I went a
bridge too far. I tried hooking up a scsi HD, and at first it went o.k.,
then I disconnected the scsi drive and tried to start up . . .nada, no
nuthin. Then I plugged the scsi back in and got everything going again, had
the installed drive and the SCSI external drive mounted while the machine
was booted off the floppy, just what I was trying to do. Then I unplugged
the external scsi again, and since then, nada. It does not feel like a
system type problem, but a loosened connection or broken connector of some
sort, way down in there. Anybody had this before? My aim here is to try to
revive another HD by installing it in the machine, booting off the floppy,
initializing the drive and and Installing OS 8 from the installer that I
copied to the external HD. (whew). None of this is going to work if the
machine won't even click or even whimper when the start key is pushed.
