Thanks Gsteemo and Macdrone. Have taken your suggestion and swapped out the power sucking 40MB HDD for my SCSI2SD 1.9gb drive/board. However, I am now getting this screen error on booting up after I hear the normal boot up chime sound. See image below.
Some sites suggested 'checkerboard' is ROM/SIMM issues but I have swapped memory and checked and cleaned contacts, but still getting this error. That said, I had thought a chime on boot suggests memory is fine...? (NB: HDD light flickers up initially, but does not boot while this screen is up.
Will probably try to go back to the HDD only (though getting my SCSC2SD mounted in the drive bay was a little tricky first time round!)
