Please help me with the following problem: Recently I replaced my Mac Plus with a new Mac LC cpu. Everything worked fine until I tried to plug my old external SCSI drive (45Mb made by Cutting Edge) into the new machine. A sad Mac face always appeared followed by two lines of hex numbers. My first thought was that it was due to a SCSI chain id problem. But my old drive has an id '2' while my internal drive has an id '0', and both of them have internal terminator. Then I thought it might be due to a software compatibility problem since I cannot use my old diskettes (with system 6.02) to boot on Mac LC. (and is it supposed to be like this?) The problem is that I cannot access my old drive now (so the old system still sits there.) I have tried Apple HD setup utility but it cannot identify the old drive either. Any suggestion or idea will be highly appreciated. Taming Chen chent@cs.unc.edu
