I rescued/bought a Plus with 4MB RAM and a rather beaten up SE/30. Both with keyboards and mice. And as a bonus there was an external SCSI2SD and Imagewriter II . Mac Plus seems to be pretty mint, boots up and the disk drive works fine.
The SE/30 has some damage all around the case and the worst bits are broken top corners. The hamster cage fan is really noisy and has to be replaced. The logic board has been recapped and I was told it works ok with the external SCSI2SD it came with. The ROM socket has lost its tabs so the ROM was secured with an electric tape. I had no SD-card ready so I tried booting it up with a disk. There is a startup chime and I get a happy mac but then it seems the computer reboots and starts all over again. Sort of a happy mac reboot loop. Blank disk doesn't trigger the eject function.
I will try with a known good disk drive but could this be something with the logic board? Any advices for the fan replacement or fix?
