At the computer lab we've got an old Mac+ with an Apple harddisk 20,
the kind you connect to the floppy drive port. The thing worked fine
till somebody installed system 6.0.5 onto it. Now it won't mount the
harddisk any more.
We looked for the old system disks, but they are nowhere to be found.
Could it be the harddisk just died, or is it the system which screwed
the hd up ? Would installing an old system fix the problem. If so,
where can I find such an old system ? How exactly did these harddrives
work ?
