To all who responded to my HD problems posted a week (or so
) ago:
Thanks for all the tips, but the problem fixed itself.	After declaring
my drive dead and confirming it by plugging it into a Mac+, I was
forced to reinstall my SCSI card and HD to show UPS that it didn't
work.  To my great surprise (and UPS's relief) my HD came up with no
problems.  All partitions verified with 0 problems.  To this day
I still don't know what was wrong with it.

Has anyone ever heard of a Quantum mechanism getting jammed in the 'parked'
position?  Does the Mac have some initialization parameters that it
passes to the SCSI device on startup that my GS doesn't?  BTW, I didn't
plug the drive back into my GS after I checked it on the Mac;  it was
3 days later when UPS was on their way over.  Hmmm.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys.  Any insights on the cause of my
problem would be appreciated, as I expect to see this again the next
time I move.


Oh, one more thing.  I am still having problems with my ImageWriter II.
The gear that controls the line/form feed of the platen seems to be
screwed.  Does anyone know ANYTHING about these damn printers?	This
one is only about 2 years old, and worked flawlessly until about two
days ago.  HELP!!

Please respond via e-mail.
Thanks,
