Follow up: I hooked the LED to the drive and tried to power it up. It would not spin up, and the stepper motor didn’t do anything, either. It did flash a 1110 ‘E’ code, basically meaning it couldn’t detect a spin up. I inspected the pcb under magnification but didn’t see anything suspicious. I...

Yup. I was able to rotate the spindle flywheel with no trouble, so I’m assuming the heads are free (or torn off already lol). I’ll probably stick a SCSI Blue in it, but it’s worth playing with the drive to see if it can be made to work

Thanks, this helps a lot. I hadn’t run across this video when I searched

I plugged into power from a pc (the SE is still disassembled) but it wouldn’t spin up. I just wondered if it needs to also be plugged into the SCSI controller to power up

Hello. Dumb question: I picked up a Mac SE recently. At the moment I’m working overhauling the floppy drive, but the Miniscribe 8425SA seems to be stuck. I haven’t tried powering it up in the Mac, since I’ve got it apart. Will plugging it into power on a pc let it spin up (if it can) without...
