You could perhaps try running Snooper when you successfully boot into System 6. It goes through a series of hardware tests, so it might give some clues as to the cause. For example, I had a Mac Classic that would boot into System 6, but stopped while loading System 7. It turned out that System 7...
I used a CY8CKIT-059 prototyping kit. It comes with a programmer and is super cheap.
I'm actually in the process of making a YouTube video of the whole build.
I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I'm going down the path of building the v4.2 SCSI2SD for the mountain of beige Macs I have, and I'd appreciate any assistance. I can't seem to get the SCSI2SD to play nice. I can get the bootloader on there, I can load the firmware with the...
So when you run HD SC Setup, does it recognise the SCSI2SD drive at all? What happens when you try and format it? Have you tried any other formatting utilities such as Hard Disk Toolkit, Silverlining or Lido?
Slight update to my post. That original link is incorrect, and this is the correct item:

Although functionally the same, the other ones are slightly the wrong size and required a bit of fiddling to get them in. The link in this post is the...
Although I appreciate that the capacitors are probably not the cause in this instance, please get it recapped ASAP. The Color Classic is one of the worst for getting damaged by capacitor leakage.
Hi all, I have an M0100 mouse and one (or more) of the emitter LEDs are shot, so the cursor isn't moving properly. Are these little LEDs still available to buy? Or is there a modern alternative?
Are you able to post a photo of the exact message you're getting from Lido? I've never known it to have any issues formatting a SCSI2SD volume. What version of Lido is it? You shouldn't even need to change the vendor or product ID of the SCSI2SD with Lido.
Thanks for your reply JDW.
As it turns out, my issue with the eject mechanism wasn't related to capacitors. It was the NEC µPA2003C 16 pin NPN silicon epitaxial darlington transistor array, located just below the four diodes on the main controller board. I replaced this and now the eject...
I'm in the process of restoring a couple of 400K drives myself. Both have had their mechanisms cleaned and lubricated, and the disk load action is very smooth. However, one of them won't eject a disk, and the other won't spin up when you insert a disk (it knows the disk is in there, but the...
