Does the drive seem to make a "skrrrick" noise, then do nothing other than spin up? If so, you might try the board from another known-working ELS170S drive. Possible that something got fried on the board, which is what I suspect happened to the LPS240S that used to reside in my Centris 650...

You can also choose "Put Away" or command-Y in System 7... Does the same as dragging the floppy to the trash can icon.

Another option is to take an external hard drive or CD-ROM case, then install the drive in that. Use a normal HDI-30 to DB-25 SCSI adapter and a DB-25 to 50-pin Centronics cable with terminator to connect the drive to the PB.

@vorg Oops... Maybe a small pair of needlenose vise grips clamped onto the head of the screw will loosen it. If you can get the red stripe cable, it might be worth trying the other drive in the Plus and see if it finally works properly. If it does, then you can take your time on fixing the...

With respect to the different cables, the ones used with the Super Serial card are different, since one is meant for the Apple Personal Modem (or for hooking up a non-Apple modem to a Mac or IIgs), and the other is meant for printers, like the IWII and the StyleWriters, etc. The DB9 to MD8...

The newer drive (one on the left) may need a different cable. Some of the earlier drives use a yellow stripe cable, which isn't pin compatible with the later drives. The later drives need the 590-0167 cable with the red stripe. That may explain why it continually ejects. With respect to your...

Apple uses only one Mini-8 DIN cable for both printer and modem functions, so no rewiring necessary. As long as you aren't planning to use the setup with a Super Serial card, you won't need anything but the Belkin cable and one of the extension cables from the other auction.

Just grab a couple of these and connect your Apple MD-8 cable to them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385106570311 26 feet. There's also this 20 foot male-male MD-8 cable, made by Belkin... https://www.ebay.com/itm/124664952017

Definitely time for a recap. With respect to the random garbled screen issue, while the bucket is off, move the logic board to analog board harness and see if the computer either restarts, or, if it's already running, freezes. My dual FDHD SE had a harness that had a couple pinched wires. At...

Used a DataDesk Mac101e (was the dual interface version that could be used on a Plus or an ADB machine) back in college on a IIsi that was in the Chemistry department. Didn't care for it much at all. Much preferred the M3501 back then. Once I tried a M0115, however, that became my favorite of...

Chris, Sounds like a plan. Thanks. Some have been great, some haven't been that great, of course...

That sounds like you've an electrical short. A high pitched flupping sound occurs when something is shorting out to ground. Is the floppy drive properly mounted in place, or do you have it hanging out the side, possibly touching the chassis?

With lots of RAM, the screen will be dark. So, you'll hear the chime, then it'll remain dark until the gray screen appears, eventually followed by either the happy Mac icon, a floppy disk icon, or a sad Mac icon.

^Yes. A hacked ROM would probably fix the issue, but, 'tis ok. Got the feet today. Also paid for a A9M0331 mouse that someone was selling on eBay locally. @JDW, yep, I've had a few machines pass through my hands... lol

Attached the IWII to the C650. Also received a box from @PotatoFi, containing a M0487 Apple Keyboard II with M2706 ADB Mouse II, and an Apple IIgs ADB keyboard with cable, plus a spare 590-0361 ADB cable. Going to be picking up a set of four feet from the post orifice for the A9M0106 floppy...

That is odd. Could be the SWIM chip. You've tried the steps listed about 1/3 of the way down on this page, right? https://archive.org/stream/mac_Sad_Macs_Bombs_and_other_Disasters_4th_Edition_2000/Sad_Macs_Bombs_and_other_Disasters_4th_Edition_2000_djvu.txt Look for the page 167 reference...

The hacked version of HD SC Setup 7.3.5 does work under 9.2.2. If you got a 2940UW or U2W card, make sure you don't have it installed when/if you decide to boot up under OS X. For some reason or another, the 2940UW I had for my G3 did not let the computer boot correctly under 10.4.11. The...

Got a copy of ResEdit? Might be good to check and see if the System 7.x System file has the .Sony driver resource installed. Seems like it isn't being added to the System file when that's being built by the installer. Otherwise, it sounds like an issue with the logic board...

Yeah, it depends on the store, firstly, and, secondly, how many items you're planning on shipping out using their services. The three monitors, might not be that big of a deal. Would have to show up early and have them do the packing. The G3/G4 PowerMacs, might be better to box them up...

A9M0106 is on hold for now - eBay canceled the auction before the seller and I could take care of things. May be bringing home an ImageWriter II that someone on OfferUp offered for free tom'w afternoon. Passes the self-test, but they don't have a printer cable to connect it to a computer to...
