hard drive has no system. hdd need to be formated and partitioned.Not sure if it is "working" in the complete sense.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
That the floppy gets ejected immediately seems to indicate that the LC is not booting from the hard drive. Hence it's waiting for a bootable floppy - which the floppy in the movie obviously isn't. If it were actually booting from the hard drive the floppy would either not get ejected at all (if it was readable) or only after interaction (I think there would be a dialog box if it should get formatted or ejected).
So it seems that the mainboard might work somewhat but the hard drive might have problems.
Have you tried a bootable floppy?
Again, I might be wrong about this.
Thanks, I will try to make it. I see that there is a tools and system disks. Maybe then mac will boothttps://www.macgeek.org/downloads/
You can create a bootable disk here using a PC and a 1.44 blank disk and drive.
i did it on Windows 7, oldest OS that I have. FDD works normally with msdos disk. I use it for moving sound banks between PC and my synth.worked for me last time i used this method.
can be an issue with the PC you are using (maybe a new Windows SW is not able to cope with it) maybe your USB drive is faulty...
My NEC EA191M monitor arrived yesterday. Today I will try to check two patterns. It would be great if you wanted to check the connections according to the settings in your adapter. It would help a lot.Windows 7 should work fine. I write Mac disk images from a Win7 PC with a USB floppy all the time. Are you using winimage? Maybe try a different image file? If you haven't already, check out https://winworldpc.com. They have a lot of Mac software packaged in PC-friendly formats. For instance, after grabbing and unzipping copy of OS 7.5.3 (https://winworldpc.com/product/mac-os-7/75), or whatever version you plan on installing, try using winimage to write the "Disk Tools 1.img" file to a floppy. That's a bootable image and will allow you to partition the HD prior to install.
BTW, I have my LCIII connected to a multi-sync LCD via a dip switch configurable DB15 - HD15 adapter. If you don't make any headway on the adapter build, I can meter the pinout of the configuration I was able to get working with mine.
Winimage: http://www.winimage.com/download.htmcan you indicate any program that under windows 7 or 10 correctly saves floppy images to floppy disks? Highest working versions of OS is 7.5 on LC?
I have 6MB od RAM. I will gry to install 7.1 . Nów i ma starting work with adapter...Winimage: http://www.winimage.com/download.htm
Your LC will run 7.5.5, but I'd only install that if you have all 10MB of RAM installed (motherboard only has 2MB). You might be happier performance-wise with 7.1.

I have tried first scheme of pinout and result is like on the video. Mouse is working, Mac waiting for boot disk hit screen is like You can see. Can You sen me pinout of Your configuration? I saw that some pinouts use diode. I hope my Mac start working ....Windows 7 should work fine. I write Mac disk images from a Win7 PC with a USB floppy all the time. Are you using winimage?
