First let's identify your exact machine. Have you disconnected the external drive and tried it? What operating system are you running?
Original Mac OS: 6.0.7 Supported Mac OS: 6.0.7-7.5.1, 7.5.3-7.5.5
I assume that you hooked up and external SCSI drive, if the OS was greater than 7.5.5, it would probably produce a Sad Mac face. There were size limitations on hard drives. Has this external ever been successfully used on this machine? We really need as much hardware and software information as you can give, and a bit of time to mull over the problem to remember what the problems of the day were as this machine came out about 1990. I'll try to add to this as I recall issues. If it is giving you an error code that would really help as right now we don't know if it's a hardware or software issue. How recently was the machine running OK? Any know problems with it besides the current one?
