Okay, where do I start? I have a Mac 7100/66 running OS 9. It has 40 Mb Ram... 5?? Mb HD... and it's pretty cool. I have an NEC Multispin 3x,global Village modem and a "Conner" 40 mb external HD. Basically, the comp runs. I have a modem problem. It says i'm running the wrong script when I try to connect. It's a Model A824. Also, the External isn't able to be read. OS keeps asking to initialize it but it keeps failing. What's wrong? I'm thinking about getting another HD for the external. A 4.3 Gig Seagate, but it's larger than the 3.5 incher. Will this fit in my "Mac Direct" case? I have more q's but this is it for now. thanks!

Whether or not it'll fit isn't something anyone here is going to be able to answer without seeing both drive and external case. Most 40 MB drives are old enough that stiction and age are starting to cause problems, so your 40 MB might just be dead. Your modem - what the heck brand is a "model A824?" p
