About a year or two ago, I purchased a dead Macintosh Color Classic from eBay as a new project system to fix up and keep in my collection.
As of now, everything on the computer works with no issues besides one thing, the floppy drive. I've already cleaned and lubed the drive and it should work fine, but it doesn't. I've actually gone as far as to try it in other systems and the drive itself reads and ejects perfectly in every system I tried, besides this particular Color Classic.
Before you say something, yes, the first thing I did was recap the LogicBoard with some fresh new Tanatalums. I even recently removed all the caps to check for any broken traces on the logic board I may have missed, however, I'm 90% sure I didn't see anything suspicious.
So what could be causing this phenomenon? It's a working drive that should work but it doesn't. Where should I start troubleshooting?
