Because the internet froze the 475 again, disaster struck. Almost all partitions were destroyed—including the disk drivers. Since I had just reinstalled, I didn't want to go through that again.

With every restart, another partition disappeared. Bad. I had already discovered that the driver was corrupted. So I reinstalled it (in my case, via Lido). Now I've downloaded Norton Utilities. The Disk Doctor is on the emergency disk. The problem before: I can't check the volumes because they're unavailable (defective). No problem. First, start any program. For example, TeachText. Now mount everything with SCSI Probe (in my case, in the Apple menu). As soon as the dialog appears asking to format or eject, terminate the task (TeachText). The dialog disappears—the defective volume remains connected to the system. It can now be selected within Disk Doctor.

Continue as needed and mount the other volumes. I removed the dummy teachtext task and ran Disk Doctor.

After a long wait, my partitions were saved. This made it clear to me that there would be no more internet access on the 68K until the crashing issue was resolved. Do anyone use a PDS-Network-Device? I can remember my IIvx with NuBus Asante Fast. There were no issues with the Internet.
