What are those serial number ranges?  I have a bad 80 in my SE/30.  I wonder
if it is in that range.  The amazing thing is that I can make the drive
startup always by turning on the mac while it is laying on its face.  Lately
the drive will NOT spin up unless I place the mac on its face first at all!
All you people that have this problem and would like to spin up at least once
in order to backup the drive, try turning on the mac while it is in a position
other than upright.  Once the drive is spun up, it should remain so for a
while at least and you can reorient the mac (carefully) without noticeble
problems.  - Yossie
