Were you trying to boot off that 7.6.1 CD? I seem to recall you can only boot off Apple CD-ROM drives. That might be why you thought the drive was dead. I aquired a Umax Pulsar where the drive had been replaced with an Apple one, presumably for a good reason...

Hi, I have the same problem with a c500; yet I don't have an official Apple CD SCSI drive. My disk drive spins however; It doesn't seem to boot from anything in the CD rom drive. Can someone confirm that This is the case; that you can only boot with an apple scsi drive? I don't want to spend money on something I don't have to. Thanks.
