    1987 Macintosh Plus (Platinum)

    All about Apple PC 5.25" Drive (A9M0110)

    Did a little disassembly on the Apple 5.25" PC Drive and it turns out its a near standard Panasonic JU-455-5 360K floppy drive. Pinout attached. Drive is set at DS0. Booting SoftPC using a Gotek Floppy emulator connected to the PC Drive Card.

    All about Apple PC 5.25" Drive (A9M0110)

    Yes, but only with PC formatted disks, not formatted with Dos Mounter. If I format the disk in a real PC or SoftPC I can copy files , but if I ms-dos format a disk with DOS Mounter it just hangs when I copy a file.

    I think you have them all apart from your exclusions from what I can remember. The only other one that pops to mind is the 512K version of the M0110A which is slightly darker.

    MAC SE/30 CRT problem

    Also have a look at your ROM SIMM. sometimes it needs to be reseated or pressured to make contact properly. 100% SE/30s need to be recapped but sometimes no ROM can show this.
