Nice machine. Have fun with it. Interesting that there is no internal floppy drive and both floppy drive ports have that cover plate.

I would suggest a BlueSCSI Desktop Pico 2W-version. Then you have a hard drive replacement and an ethernet-over-SCSI using WiFi, all in one.

That is the message you get when missing the enabler. When you put the System Enabler 401 file in the system folder on the disk, it will finish the startup without an error message.

A Color Classic needs System Enabler 401 in the system folder.

Reflow solder joints. Specially from the connectors on the analog board and one on the logic board.

Yeah, could be. I don't remember how long I've let it dry. Luckily I was able to find a new-in-the-box-replacement board back then, so the "problem" was solved.

I don't think that soapy water is a great idea. I did that ones years age with a logic board from an SE/30 and it never came to life again.

In the root directory of the SD card there is a file called "log.txt" If there are problems with the BlueSCSI, you could possibly read it back in this file. And what other files are you having on the SD card? You should have a disk file with a working system or an empty disk file with a correct...

Termination power should be ON. Otherwise you should power it with the internal molex connector+converter cable.

It’s a nice machine. I had one for several years. I‘m not sure if this floppy drive will fit in an LCIII.

Great find! Most important now is taking off the old caps and clean it with an isopropanol bath and a soft brush.

If there will be another batch, I'm in for that. My IIfx has "only" 8 Mb RAM.

Have you checked the voltages? No working floppy and BlueSCSI sound like to low voltages to me.

I dove a little deeper into Macintosh II upgrades and I think you have them all. Even the FDHD and 800K labels are original Apple. They are mentioned in the upgrade guide. With all these upgrade, you have technically a Macintosh IIx.
