One possible fix would be to apply power, and give it a sharp whack with your hand . . .
That worked.  Thanks!

Well, actually, I gave it a few taps before applying power and it booted up fine.

And now I find my original quandary with the file . . .  It's a 32MB file.  There's a compressed 10MB version of it, but, if I recall, I'm not sure it's complete as I seem to recall StuffIt choking on it towards the end or something.  In either event, 32MB or 10MB, that's too large for a floppy disk.  Many years ago, I tried copying the file over the network, but that never worked.  I have no functional SCSI Zip drives.  USB is not an option.
