Occasionally my 3000 hard drive LED will stay on and remain on (does
not boot and no harddrive activity either) after a powerup.  This
usually occurs after the computer has been on, turned off, wait
>~30sec and turned back on.  If I do a 3 finger reboot in this mode it
does the same thing.  The only way to get it to boot is to turn it off
again and again until it does.  I have two Quantum LPS HDs (52meg & 105meg)
and 6megs on memory if this has any bearing on the problem.  These are
the only expansions that I have made.  Could this be a heat problem?
I have the original 52meg drive sitting on the internal floppy (yes it
does fit) and the 105meg drive in the normal drive spot.  Any answers
or suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Coy Lindsey
