Well, yesterday it happened... I tried to boot my Mac & it was not able to boot off the hard drive. I figured it must have been a weird timing glitch of some kind, so I hit the programmers switch & tried again. Nothing good came of it. I heard the strange musical tones others have mentioned, but no reboot. After a couple more aborted attempts, I hit the hard power switch & took a deep breath. Nothing... So I took out my SUM crash start disk (yes I really had one) & booted off it. Zapped the prams as suggested, but to no avail. On my next reboot attempt I again hit the programmer's switch, got the tones & this time a "frowny" Mac with the codes 00000001 and 00000013 under the Mac icon. At this point, I was beginning to worry. I booted off the SUM disk again & lo and behold, my hard disk icon was happily sitting on the desI installed new drivers on the disk & verified it with Disk First Aid -- no problems reported. I ran Interferon, but no problems were reported. Everything seems fine since, but I am less than filled with a warm & fuzzy feeling. If you have any idea what my problem(s) could be, please let me know. Specifically, I would like to know what the "tones" indicate as well as the error codes. Should I be saving up for a new hard disk? My configuration: Mac II with 4 meg RAM, fully populated Apple graphics card CMS Pro 60/i hard disk (Seagate mechanism) Inits: Vaccine, Moire, Soundmaster, SUM (no HD partition), SFScroll Init (I think that's about it) If you feel this is cluttering the net with noise, please respoe directly & I will summarize. Many thanks in advance!!! Quakingly, Mike (stovsky@cis.ohio-state.edu)
