Hi all
I misaligned the floppy drive bay inside the SE/30 and some disk got stuck because it couldn't get out through the floppy slot on the bezel.
It made some pretty bad noises as you'd expect but I quickly turned the machine off. I took the floppy drive out and the mechanism is fine. No problem with that. While I had it out, it tested it with the machine and it wouldn't work. The motor does nothing, it just sits there. If you insert a floppy nothing will happen.
I couldn't find anything on 68kmla relating to this problem.
I'm afraid the stepper motor died. Any ideas?
