[comp.sys.mac.system] Me, my disk and System 7.0 are fine!

A week or so ago I posted a plea for help when after being careless with
System 7.0 system files, my hard disk became inaccessible.

I expected some response, but I was totally unprepared for the large number 
of replies and helpful suggestions I received. I want to thank everyone
for their support, it was really great. (Oh, and I tried to reply to everyone
in person, so if you haven't heard from me, blame it on mail)

I have never discovered what was the cause of my problem. Eventually I was
saved by sheer luck: when everything I tried had failed to work, and even
reformatting the drive was impossible because *all* software refused to 
recognize the disk, I did the only thing I had not tried before: I stuck 
my SCSI cable into the *other* SCSI hole in the back of my hard disk.

That was it. The drive is now recognizable again, and I am very very 
happy, though I do feel a bit silly for not having tried this two weeks
ago.

Once again, my thanks to you all,

Peace,
