The machine would not boot from the drive. There is a known "problem" on the macII. When you get a bad crash, the PRAM (Parameter ram) get erased and then the macII doesn't know anymore what is attached to it, therefore harddrives won't boot up anymore. I have an init called "INIT PramFix" which is suppose to fix that problem. If you want a copy of it just let me know (it's only 1K) and that should fix the problem you are describing. Hope this helped, Alain Dumesny----
