Allegedly, I should have been able to just plug it in and have it work; however this was not the case. The Mac will not boot from the hard disk. It just sits there with a blinking question mark in the disk icon. The drive does appear when the Mac is booted from a floppy. I have tried reformatting the drive, changing the SCSI address, changing the version of system and finder on the drive, and even setting up partitions. The drive itself seems to work fine--it just will not boot. Does anyone have any suggestions for other things to try? ----------------------------------------- James Mace Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics University of California, S.F.
