a little exception: some drives, seagate barracuda 4 gb (=Dec rz 29b)
requires a lot of power when spinning up and possibly, the powersupply is
not able to do. with such hd, on my IIci i often had no happy mac on the
boot screen but a blinking question mark. alternatives are to power up
the hd externally (suggestion by seagate itself ;-)) or to risk: normally
the machine booted then nevertheless).

kind regards,

ulrich
