Hi all,
I just got myself an SE/30 but it's having an issue reading floppy disks. If I put a disk in, it opens the shutter, but doesn't seem like it's attempting to read it. After trying a couple of floppy drives(none of which are guaranteed to be good) and cables, I got it to read a disk once, and then never again.
Here's a youtube video
It seems like sometimes the head is covering the exposed disk, sometimes it's moved back. The disk inside doesn't seem to spin, but not sure if it's supposed to be spinning or not
When you reboot it the machine it seems like it's trying to read it for a second, and then it ejects it.
Any ideas?
