- I have a MacII with a 40MB QA250 internal hard drive. For almost four years,
- everything has worked fine. And then last week out of the blue, the Mac II
- decides it can't see the drive anywhere on the SCSI bus. There seems to be
- nothing wrong with the computer itself, since it can see external SCSI devices
- (provided the internal drive is disconnected from the bus -- otherwise the
- computer can't see any SCSI device). The drive seems to sound OK, though. I
- can hear it spin up and make those little tick-tick sounds when i turn it on.
- Larry Pina's "Dead Mac Scrolls" recommends reinstalling the SCSI driver with
- Apple HD SC Setup v. 1.5, but this won't work because the hard drive can never
- be found on the SCSI.
-
- I also checked the cable by exchanging it with one I know works. Didn't help.
-
- Has anybody out there had a similar problem? Or know how to fix it?
-
- If I get the solution (or close to it), I'll summarize to the net.
-
- Thanks alot!
