LC III problems - again

[Vanessa Stern]

Some people here may remember that I posted a while back about my problems 
with my LCIII.  This machine was running system 7.6.1 with no problems up 
to now.  Now when I try to boot it up, the hard drive sounds very whiny and 
I get a message that says "The startup disk will not work on this Macintosh 
model.  Use the latest installer to update this disk for this 
model."  Several people on this list tried to help me and I have tried all 
I know how, to no avail.  Nothing I've tried will recognize the HD at 
all.  I obtained a copy of 7.6 and, since I have an external CD-ROM, I was 
able to boot off of the CD.  I still cannot see the HD.  I tried running 
Anubis v 2.54 and it sees the CD and "SCSI 00 Quantum 0 MB".  I tried 
formatting and for "Format Failed, Error in Alternate Format, Error 04 A6 
Sense Key".

I tried Norton DD, but it doesn't see the HD.  I tried Snooper and that 
says CPU OK, Keyboard failed or missing (I never had a problem with the 
keyboard - it seems to be fine), Mouse OK, RAM OK, SCSI OK, Clock OK, Modem 
port failed (I don't currently have a modem attached).  The rest of the 
test failed because it kept asking for another disk, which I apparently 
don't have.

I am tired of messing with this.  I do have an external SCSI drive, which I 
have currently removed from the chain.  I can see that drive when it's 
hooked up.  Does it sound like the internal HD is fried?  Should I try 
replacing it with the HD in the external case?

Suggestions wanted!!

Vanessa
