I have an Apple SCSI HD20 for some time now and (a part from the noise)
I am quite happy with it. However recently I go very nervous because a few
times the Drive would not start. It appears that the normal internal boot-
procedure (or whatever it is called) does not take place because I don't
hear the sound of the moving (repositioning?) of the head. Normally there
will be a beep-beep a few seconds after turning the power on and then
everything works fine. I have the impression that it might have to do
with a low temperature (which is not really cold= 17 C.) but that might
just be coincidence. Until now the drive would boot normal after a few
trials (and when the temperature was somewhat higher?) but this is ruining
my nerves. Is there another soul with similar problems? Or even better
with a hint about the cause?
