Hello Mac 128:
Thanks for the reply.
In regards to 7.1, since my SE has an internal 40MB hard drive, when I boot it from a cold start, the internal hard drive immediately kicks in (although the SC20 is hooked up to the SE's SCSI port, and is switched on). Since the SC20 does not mount onto the hard drive (probably because of the system folder that has 6.0.4 installed, because all of my previous external SCSI drives- like my Jasmine Direct 80, which no longer works- were able to mount onto the desktop, but did not have a system folder installed, only programs), my only alternative is to reboot the SE. After that, the SE begins communicating with the SC20.
I have heard the horror stories about these drives randomly crashing, and so forth. I do have intentions of cleaning the innards (from the looks of the back of the cooling fan, its quite dusty), however I would require instructions as to how to effectively open the case without causing any cosmetic damage (I noticed there were no screws at the bottom, or on the sides).
BTW, it was not my intention to sound like I had God-knows-what amount of files. My external 500GB drive for my MBP has over 2 million files (most are Word & Podcast files) backed up on it, so naturally 230 would seem to be a fairly decent amount of files, especially for an almost 25-year-old Apple drive. Nevertheless, the programs that are on it are interesting, and worth keeping for my vintage 512ke/Plus hybrid.
