Macintosh Plus acting up.

So I went to start my Mac plus this morning and a bunch of weird things happened. The Mac didn’t recognize my SCSI2SD (which usually works) and the power light on my Asante EN/SC wasn’t lit. I rebooted it and all worked fine. Until...

The printer (an ImageWriter II) started printing a bunch of random characters while the computer was booting. I thought that maybe this was because AppleTalk was selected in chooser. I changed this and rebooted. The printer stopped the crazy characters.

But the weirdest problem of all that I still can’t seem to wrap my head around is the floppy drive acting up. Every time I would open a file or program the floppy drive would try to eject even with no disk inserted. What’s going on??
