Hi,
It's been a while since I've been on the forum, and it's nice to be back.
I recently got a Mac Classic that was being given away. It appears to be in good shape, case-wise. However, there are some issues booting up.
The logic board seems to be ok, as it makes a startup chime and comes up to a floppy-with-question-mark icon. I attempted to boot it with system 6.0.8 and 7.5.3 startup disks, but in both cases it just ejected the disks with an 'x' over the floppy disk.
I cleaned the floppy heads with alcohol and a q-tip, but no change. I'm thinking something may be wrong with the floppy drive.
Any thoughts? I have several other compact Macs that I can borrow floppy drives from, if needed.
Thanks..
