Hi, I’ve been restoring a Macintosh SE, 800k 20SC machine. So far I’ve removed the PRAM battery, cleaned the inside, got the floppy drive to accept and boot off a 6.0.8 floppy. Without the floppy inserted the machine just boots to the floppy with a question mark.
I’m thinking the drive could have a case of “suction” and other problems… The led does blink iirc 4 reds.
I plan on removing it, any special tips on how I should go about getting it working again. I want to clean the pcb and make sure there are no burnt components. Also I was thinking about putting a drop of oil in the steeper motor for the head positioning.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
I don’t want to put in a scsi2sd etc unless if I can’t get this to work.
