One. Thankyou!
Two. I know... I know... I just want to make sure she's salvageable before spending an age carefully replacing all the capacitors.
Three. Okay, I've tested with an external CD drive + terminator and it is *not* a termination issue. In Norton Utilities when you try and scan a drive, there are the options of the drives found (floppy + CD), plus options "Scan SCSI bus" and "More..."
"Scan SCSI Bus" goes away for a few seconds and thinks, then comes back with no change.
"More..." opens a window with a graphical view of the bus. I can see the Mac at #7, and the CD drive at #3. There is also a device at #0 which shows up whether or not the CD drive is attached. Clicking on this device activates the HDD light. Norton Utilities can scan this device to find any partitions, but the scan just takes forever without even getting above 0%. The HDD light remains lit throughout. Just before the scan though, Norton Utilities *does* identify it as a 40MB disk which is correct.
SO...
It seems that it's not a SCSI termination issue, and if need be I can probably use an external drive.
I've not been back in yet to identify the drive, but it's definitely an original. I think I recall it being a Quantum, but will tell you for sure after I've next gone in.
