 restore the system files without the external drive? 
Hmm, 'R' right after power-up should let you boot from whatever's in ROM.
If that doesn't work, you might try either taking the hard disk out and
accessing it from another box, or put a SCSI or floppy controller in your
expansion box and try booting from another device ('F' would force a
floppy boot, but I don't know if that works from the expansion tray).
   OK  I'll try that. Probably be a while before I have a chance though.

     I didn't
notice a ring. They were cigarette size boxs and marked "Grid
 120" and had a connector at one end. 
Those sound like the removable hard drives from my GRiD 1810, one of the
made-in-Japan plastic GRiDs. 
     OK,  Do you need some more?
