Am having trouble with my NeXT slab (station, 32MB, 200M inbuilt-drive,
800M extern drive) upon getting home from a month-long trip.
Responses and tips greatly appreciated. Please e-mail.
Questions:
[a] Is it an indication of a problem on the boot disk if after "Testing
System" the next thing to appear is "Loading from Network" and
hang-up? [I.e. does this indicate that the boot section is gone on
the boot disk so the machine looks for other sources?]
[b] How can this problem happen? Specifically, can it occur through
the simple mistake of turning on the main switch _before_ the power
on the external drive (so that a power surge from the extren
damages the internal drive)?
[c] How much is it likely to cost to fix the drive or whatever the
problem may be?
[d] {To Taiwanese users only} Who would provide reasonable service for
such a problem?
Advthanxance,
Bo-Yin Yang
