Okay, swapping logic boards seems to have gotten rid of the issue. I’m presented with the disk icon instead of the black and white bars.

I’ll give that a try next.

I broke one of these about three years ago. I’m not doing it again! I pulled on the yoke, cracked the tube and I heard the hissing sound of air rushing in… at that point my soul exited my body.

I'm planning a visit to RE-PC on Tuesday with an old coworker. Never been before. How is their pricing?

Took some time today and scrubbed the SE logic board with the screen issue with IPA and the proper brushes. Even though it's a much cleaner board, still no dice on resolving the issue. I'm thinking it's either something with the analog board or that board attached to the yoke... (can't think of...

2.5A. That's a start. https://www.recycledgoods.com/xircom-pgmfhub-mac-usb-dock-apple-imac-ibook-usb-port-upgrade/ I would say 5V if I compare it to a device manufactured by the same company here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125909057860 (I know this isn't the same device) Based on what little...

Appreciate the quick response. Unless something falls in my lap, it seems both drives are probably shot and I’ll have to be patient until the BlueSCSI arrives. I’m not a wise man, but I’m curious why nothing like SCSI to IDE exists. I understand that the cables use different amount of pins but...

I have a G3 iBook with OS9, would you happen to know if those had any SCSI support (an external drive perhaps?)

Okay I will take a look. Thanks for the advice.

Gosh, I had no idea it would be this much work! Not complaining, at least one machine seems to boot OK. Still unsure if any of the floppy drives work, but hopefully I can get in with the BlueSCSI.

Yeah, even the PSU has rust on it. SIgh...

Cool. The year I was born. I'll take it as a good luck sign. Haha

Sorry. Might this be it?

Okay, I can start with the brush and IPA solution. Would you use a soft steel wool pad or maybe a Dremel tool (soft brush) for the rust? I believe he kept both units in a barn which is generally affected by the elements.

Do these images help identify that?

I guess the part I'm stuck at is I don't have a way to boot into it to do a format? I'm still toying with the BMOW device but I might wait for the Blue SCSI to arrive in the mail.

So, related to my earlier post about the two SEs I purchased, it seems one of the drives actually makes a noise and the system attempts to boot over and over. I'll eventually get the ? symbol but it keeps retrying the drive to try and boot. The sticker on top says Miniscribe. Any idea what might...

Are signed cases rare? (I have no clue)

I think thats what I meant to say, but I appreciate the clarification.

Seems like a reasonable price. Out of curiosity, what kind of things can an old Mac do on the internet? I can't imagine browsing the web... but if you could FTP transfer .dsk files or something useful then I would be very interested.
