David,
In answer to another message -
the PRAM battery looks like a smallish squat AA battery, but only 1/2 the
length - yes, it looks like a battery! (not trying to be cute) - you won't
be able to see it inside the Mac until you take the cover off - I presume
you know this as you've replaced the HD - right behind the HD, dead center
between the HD and Floppy drive will be a black plastic holster, and inside
it is your battery in question.
Gently pry off one side of the black cover, then the other, then gently pry
out the battery ......
(a sidebar to all: your favorite tool for this feat - I'm a little leary of
putting a metal screwdriver inbetween a battery and a contact, even though
the contact is theoretically not on - I've fashioned a wooden screwdriver
out of a hardwood popsicle stick ttto use- perhaps I'm over cautious)
.......out of the sleeve. On it will be a date to tell you how old it is
(shelf life =aver. of 10 years; performance life varies).
You can find a replacement at RadioShack ($10), at AppleWorks Users Group
(7.50) or at www.allelectronics.com ($1.50)
Hope this helps,
Dana
P.S. On the new Quantum HD you installed: sorry to mention the obvious, but
did you install a driver of any kind onto it? It will not mount until its
been initialized (formatted - you make no mention of this point)
