Hi .. I have a non-working (defective) Mac Classic II, which had a 105mb
(defective) hard drive. Created a new (clean image) of the 105mb hard
drive. Was unable to get the good 105mb hard drive to work in a functional
Mac Classic II which had a functional 40mb hard drive. The Mac Classic II
which had been functional, is now non-functional. Question: Is there a
fixed-drive capacity on Mac Classic II machines? (ie, is there a setting on
the machine to allow a Mac Classic II with a 40mb drive, to accept a 105mb
drive? And a related question: would anyone reading this, have a working
Mac Classic II with a 105mb drive? Thanks!

No but the classic II's motherboard must be recapped(new surface mount capacitors) in both machines. At this age they are leaking and destroying the motherboards. No troubleshooting can take place until that is done.
