I suspect (but am kind of new at this, outside my own restoration efforts) that it seems related to RAM or video RAM. Total shot in the dark but check traces and voltages at UE8 as well. Another idea is if you have access to a thermal camera (or use your finger) see if anything is getting...

Great, thanks for this!

Hi @smrieck511 - quick question about your situation: did you replace the drive in question and this resolved the issue for you? Asking so I can figure out if the problem is on the drive itself (if replacing it worked) or if the problem continues with a new drive (the problem is on the LB or...

I'm facing a similar situation with my internal 1.44 floppy drive. Mine has also been cleaned and lubed (including the heads with IPA), and ejects well. Symptoms: - It can't read any disks made by other drives, except for one, and even then it can't launch programs or read files only list the...

I'm now able to boot off the BlueSCSI. Resolved with software (different hda image). Hooray, I have a usable SE/30! Next is physical restoration and figuring out why the floppy won't format successfully. I'll start a new thread for that if needed. Sending my thanks to everyone who helped me...

I have made some progress. It boiled down to checking assumptions. First, the (only) ADB keyboard I have was not working. I took it apart and discovered that the keyboard ribbon cable was not connected. Maybe that's why the seller included it. Sigh. Once this was reconnected, the keyboard...

Thanks, that makes sense!

Hi folks, I was buzzing out some traces on my se/30 and used the (amazing) redrawn schematics to assist. I think I found an error, which needs to be cleaned up but before I open a github issue against the project I wanted to ask for a sanity check first. Problem: the 68030 has 13x13 pin...

I went back and forth on whether to post my trace notes, but ultimately decided they could be helpful in understanding what I have checked. So here they are.

Hi folks, First, thanks so much for your replies. I'm learning a lot from what you suggested. @dochilli : I do have a 1.4 floppy; it's a Sony MP-F75-01G; the cable is gray with a red stripe, and 2 sense switches on the one side. I cleaned the reading head with IPA and a swab, when I had it the...

This SE/30 and the included hard disk was not booting when I got ahold of it. My scsi cable has only one drive connector, so the BlueSCSI replaced the original hard drive. I agree that it's good to rule out that I didn't mess up termination :) Thanks for your comment!

Hi all, first post here. I would love some help chasing down an issue with my new-to-me SE/30. Problem: - powers on, chimes, video is good, mouse moves. Stuck at flashing ? disk icon. Can't boot anything, and I can't figure out what to try next. Work performed: - got it from ebay, in the...
