Decided to try something. I loaded a disk, placed the drive on the ribbon cable and used a qtip to hold the micro switch down. Got a floppy icon on boot with an X in the middle. Sigh - I have another issue to fix before I put a new micro switch in...

I’ve got a card like this in an SE and have used a Mac SSH terminal to use one of my Linux servers online. Never tried a browser - terminal shell is painful enough…
Question as I can’t remember from my childhood in middle school. I have a IIGS that I’ve gone over. It chimes twice and the LED comes on. I don’t have an Apple monitor so I was going to try composite video.

Continued work on this - soldered for a temp fix. Drive is seen by my SE drive controller and when I place a disk inside it says its not initialized. It asks me "single or double" and I choose one. Disk won't format and the drive auto-ejects it immediately. I am 30 minutes in to the Branchus...
Well - this unfortunate mishap occurred. Thinking about JB weld to mate it back together and then either soldering wire from each joint to joint or scraping the solder runs to solder them together. Anyone have any opinions about best method to repair?
