Following up: It's been powered-up and blinking for a day and a night.

Assist does not find it on the network. It offers to search again for a particular server, but having performed a factory-reset I don't know what name or password to give it.

I remain, therefore, at the end of my tether.

I could gamble another couple of hundred dollars on a new drive with SnapOS pre-installed, but why would that work when-- as far as I know-- the drives I have are already formatted with SnapOS?

I can usually debug software, where there's always SOMETHING else one hasn't tried yet. But I guess I'm not cut out for hardware problems where the box just sits there ignoring me.

Maybe I'll try SpinRite, but I think I have learned not to rush ahead with things I don't understand.

I should note, in case anyone is willing to take on this recalcitrant device, that my profile is out of date: I and my Snap 2200 are no longer in Chicago. We're now in NW Massachusetts-- far from civilization. I do have the original packaging though!

I can't say it enough:
Many sincere thanks, again, for the interest and expertise.
