Broken down hard drive

Hi all,

I have a problem with my hard drive.  I'm using a Mac Plus with 2.5
megs and an Apple Crate 65mb hard drive.  Usually, I turn on the hard drive and then the computer.  Here's my procedure:

	1.  Turn on the hard drive.
	2.  Wait for it to come up to speed.
	3.  After I hear it come up to speed, I turn on the computer.
	4.  Everything is fine and dandy and I can work.

Now, though, my problem is that it _doesn't_ come up to speed.
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.  When it does, after a
little while, it may power down again.  This is really bizarre and
very frightening since I haven't backed up my data recently enough.
(Last time was a month ago.)

If anyone could help me with suggestions, solutions, names of
reputable people who might be able to fix the hard drive if need be,
etc.

Thanks in advance.
