That was my guess, but both drives I have had worked earlier in the day
in the same machine. But the caddies they are in are plastic and maybe
are warped or maybe the IDE connector inside the machine has a bent pin,
but I can't see anything obvious.
Could be a misconfigured BIOS. Try running the SPSD.
Peace... Sridhar
I have another 701c that I am now working on getting
running. It was
working but now all I get is a couple beeps and then it asks for a
floppy. Its such a nifty looking little machine. Its a shame its
all plastic.
Couple of beeps followed by floppy-prompt is IBMese for "no bootable
device found".
Sounds like there either isn't a proper boot sector on the hard drive,
or the hard drive is dead.
