So it started up ok few days ago, but hard drive is not running, can't hear it going.
Managed to find a System 7.5 start-up disk though and I can get to the desktop, only very, very slowly.  Is there a way to check if HD is running and can you get scsi HDs anymore?

At least now you'll be able to source one and connect it up, then install the os onto it.

They were very good systems for their time, came out in the very late 80s iirc.  If it was in good working order he may have got a fair bit for it.
