I recapped an SE/30 board yesteray but keep getting disk errors for the internal hard drive.
I got the board dead, with SimaSimac, so impossibe to test before.
Replaced all capacitors. The board posted but couldn't find the internal hard drive.
However if I boot with a floppy disk, the hard drive didn't appear to the desktop either but Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 could see the drive.
When I try to Initialise the drive with Appe HD SC Setup, I get the following:
- Format: OK
- Verify: OK
- Mounting Disk then takes a long time and gives "The Disk could not be initialized: Unable to Mount Volume"
When I try the TEST in Apple HD SC Setup, I get "Problems writing data to drive"
When I try FWB 2.06 Formatter: I get about the same results. I also gives a fault when trying to mount the volume.
What I have excluded ( = taken from a working SE/30 logic board and done the same procedure )
- The HDD: Formats fine on my other board - not faulty
- SCSI cable: is good
- Ram: swapped the ram modules from other board - no change
- Rom: swapped - no change
I'm doubting between the SCSI chip and one of the Bourns filters.
I hoe someone can point me to the solution.
