Greetings,
I recently acquired a Macintosh IIfx.
Everything works fine, except... the floppy drive(s).
I started simple and switched to a known good floppy. No luck.
I checked the voltages at the power connector and everything looks correct.
Case to pin 1 (yellow): 12v
Case to pins 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (red): 5v (+/- 0.01)
Case to pins 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (black-ground): basically 0
There is no pin 13
Case to pin 14 (blue): -12v
Case to pin 15 (white): 4.46v (I've been told that 4.44-46 is normal on this pin but I don't know.
I checked the pins on both FDD connectors on the motherboard and everything looks correct, EXCEPT:
Pin 11 shows less than a volt. I believe it is supposed to be 5v.
FDD connector Pins 19, 17, 15, 13 = 12v
I've checked for obvious gunk, broken traces, etc.
I checked the two capacitors on the underside: C196 and C205 and they look OK.
I know just enough to know that I know very little.
Any ideas where I should be looking for my missing voltage on Pin 11?
Thanks
