The access LED of the monster was blinking.

Have disconnected the CD.

No booting from floppy.

The floppy isn't spinning. Dito. The CD drive.

Both drives are damaged? Nearly impossible?

Second problem, I have 7.1 but no system enabler and don't know how to copy it on a disk.

I think the best thing I can do is to buy a working machine and then test the floppy and CD on the working machine.

So I can isolate the problem.

I will call also people here in germany with these old machines. Maybe the can download and copy 7.5.3 on disk.

And the startup chime comes at the first time I powered the Mac up.

Then I moved it upstairs to the display. Then no startup sound.

What a disappointment.
