I have been being helped by various folks on the list in my attempt to join
our 3000 to our LAN.  Though I have not suceeded, this morning I had
another problem and need help. (please)
Upon arrival this morning the console had locked up.  I re started the
unit, but the SCSI drives do not seem to be powering up.  The green lights
flash on for a second after the power is applied, but that is it.  The
cooling fan does not turn either.
I am able to boot, but get the following messages:

LDEVS 5, 8, 4, 3, 2 are not available

and  FILE SYSTEM ERROR READING $STDIN (CIERR 1807)

When I try to log on as manager.sys, I must do so HIPRI, and get the
following:

Couldn't open UDC directory file, COMMAND.PUB.SYS. (CIERR 1910)

If I had to guess, I would say the SCSI drives are not working.  Is there a
quick fix, or are all the files lost?

I should add that I went to operators class in 1992, but have just
inherited this system (HP937LX)  It has been neglected, but running, for
close to 2 years.  Is it time to pull the plug?
