That's really why I tried to encourage my fellow WarpSE beta testers to test in the same way I did to confirm they too have the same problem when using 0.5robust firmware. I want to make sure it's not only me who has the same issue. Then we would have definitive proof.
Even so, I will wait...
Bad news. I still get the bars even after carefully connecting everything, and the voltages are fine. Have a look at all of the details in my video below:
@Zane Kaminski
I did a lot of testing tonight after work. On first power-up, I got the bars on the CRT (same as when a USB cable is attached), but I spent almost two hours testing after that, and it never came back. Maybe it was my cable insertion? Because after that first power-up showed...
Reflashing fixed it only while on the same table that is near the PC. But that's not my workbench, so I need to move everything to do real testing. And that means disconnect the motherboard from the chassis extension harness, disconnect the speaker's extension harness, disconnect power cord to...
On my lunch break now and experiencing something new.
The SE won't bong or boot anymore with the WarpSE installed, despite the fact it worked fine when I ended my testing last night and put everything away. I've tried it on both motherboards. Same on both. Pressing and holding INTERRUPT...
I will do that on my lunch break today. After that, I will remove WarpSE from the stock SE motherboard and test it on my SE Reloaded motherboard. Shouldn't be a difference, but I've not tested the 0.5 firmware WarpSE on that motherboard yet.
What I can say is that when I flashed the 0.5...
I’m no expert on 3-D printing, but from what I understand, there are some plastics that are more heat resilient than others. ABS is an all around great plastic.

I just finished testing "WarpSE.GW4410A.0.5robust.exe":
At first power-ON, it booted from my BlueSCSIv1 without problem. Great!
Mouse movement seems to be normal. Great!
I rebooted with my external spinner drive, and was well with that.
Tetris Audio sounds really good through...
Understood. And for the record, I myself fall into your categories (2) and (3) because I have Macs ranging from 1984 to present day, and I use Time Machine for backups of my modern Macs.
I do not have technical info on L2 in order to answer your question about "range." And whether or not a standard part would work is not something I have tried. In fact, I've never read about anyone trying it, probably because most people salvage L2 from a dead or otherwise junked Mac.
So if...
@Zane Kaminski
OK. I forced fed myself in 5 minutes on my lunch break so I could dedicate time to testing the "new" ROBUST firmware
Summary: BAD NEWS
My 1st boot attempt with my IBM DGHS 4.5GB SCSI drive (inside HD20SC enclosure) failed with a Sad Mac...
Fine! Don't like to play with...
I think a large number of vintage Mac enthusiasts are always looking at what's new in the community and examining what they may not have heard of before. Many of these people approach a new thing with this fundamental question: "What can this thing do for me?"
The first sentence on your...
Custom part not available from Mouser, Digikey, Console5, etc. Replacements must be extracted from gutted boards.
Honestly, it would be nice if we could get a newly built replacement for those, since old parts won't last forever.
Date references are easy to forget and confuse, so I shall rename it: WarpSE.GW4410A.1.0robust_OLD.exe
When and if I mention it in the future in this thread, I will call it "ROBUST OLD". That will make it 100% clear.
I've not had opportunity to test your new ROBUST firmware yet. I will do so...
Personally, I would tell Apple about that because (scroll down to "Mac OS Supported")...

@Zane Kaminski
I just flashed the firmware attached to your "Oops!!" post. I'm sorry to report it's bad news.
(I have 4MB of RAM installed, by the way.)
I had no issues booting prior to flashing this firmware. (I had been testing ROBUST without any booting issues before.) But my first...

I only noticed this thread today. I'm big on "layman's terms" and dummying down difficult concepts into a form digestible by mortal man.

I Googled a bit to figure out even what Netatalk is, but that led me to a bunch of techno jargon that made my eyes glaze...
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @eric !
I especially loved the part he wrote at the end...
