Well, yesterday it happened... I tried to boot my Mac & it was not able to 
boot off the hard drive.  I figured it must have been a weird timing glitch
of some kind, so I hit the programmers switch & tried again.  Nothing good
came of it.  I heard the strange musical tones others have mentioned, but
no reboot.  After a couple more aborted attempts, I hit the hard power switch
& took a deep breath.  Nothing...

So I took out my SUM crash start disk (yes I really had one) & booted off it.
Zapped the prams as suggested, but to no avail.  On my next reboot attempt
I again hit the programmer's switch, got the tones & this time a "frowny" Mac
with the codes 00000001 and 00000013 under the Mac icon.

At this point, I was beginning to worry.  I booted off the SUM disk again &
lo and behold, my hard disk icon was happily sitting on the desI
installed new drivers on the disk & verified it with Disk First Aid -- no
problems reported.  I ran Interferon, but no problems were reported.  
Everything seems fine since, but I am less than filled with a warm & fuzzy
feeling.

If you have any idea what my problem(s) could be, please let me know.  
Specifically, I would like to know what the "tones" indicate as well as 
the error codes.  Should I be saving up for a new hard disk?

My configuration:
	Mac II with 4 meg RAM, fully populated Apple graphics card
	CMS Pro 60/i hard disk (Seagate mechanism)
	Inits: Vaccine, Moire, Soundmaster, SUM (no HD partition), 
		SFScroll Init (I think that's about it)

If you feel this is cluttering the net with noise, please respoe
directly & I will summarize.

Many thanks in advance!!!

Quakingly,


	Mike
