I recently collected and assembled all the parts needed for an LC III, which I put together yesterday. This included the hard drive, a Quantum ProDrive ELS with 80 MB of space and a SCSI connector. Everything seemed to be working properly, and I was able to install System 7.5.3 on the machine last night without issue.
However, when I booted up this morning, I got a flashing floppy disk icon with a question mark in it. I put in the Disk Tools floppy and neither Disk First Aid or the Apple HD SC Setup utilities recognize that the hard disk is present at all in the machine. I double-checked the connections and everything, it all seems to be okay on that front, and while the machine is running I can sense the actual physical hard drive spinning without any issues that I can tell (no unusual sounds, clicking, etc.).
I know that old SCSI drives like this tend to seize up and die, so I was wondering if this is the case for this particular hard drive as well. If so, then does anyone have recommendations for a reliable SCSI drive that would be compatible with this machine?
