Hello everyone!
My SE/30 has always had a weird problem: if I boot from the internal hard disk, most of the time the system software doesn't load, and the floppy icon appears (as if the HDD took to long to spin). This happens almost every time, maybe it will boot once every 20 times or more, and mostly at cold boot.
But if I connect a SCSI Zip drive (even without a cartridge), the Mac boots just fine to System 7.5.5.
I have a 8gb hard drive with five partitions, the system folder is in partition 1. Otherwise it's a stock SE/30 that needs recapping (no sound). RAM is 8mb.
Anyone knows why this happens?
Thanks a lot!
