Teardown of Machine #2 - Two floppy drive edition. No signatures :( What do I spot here? A hard drive in a machine that usually doesn't have one? Aftermarket adapter or factory? Could this tear in the cable be the culprit?? Looks like a Molex for the HDD Trying to get to the...

Alight folks, I hope you're ready for teardown pics. There were a couple of surprises hidden in one of the machines! Can you guess which?

I don't think I will attempt to take it apart... I believe I have a 20 MB SCSI in storage that can be used if the current drive is shot. Will go to the storage unit over the weekend and take a look.

Oh that does look quite useful!

I will give that a try tomorrow. Thank you!

Sounds good. I just placed an order for a BlueSCSI device and will utilize that when it arrives.

Some progress, at least...Trying to mount a 'hard drive' and it doesn't like like 2GB image.

I do have the BMOW device from years prior when I had a Classic that died on me. I am toying with it now for a bit before heading off to bed. Getting an "x" symbol so I think there may be an issue with the .dsk files I had on my google drive I put on the SD card. Honestly, I'm not looking to...

Good to know. I'll look into the Zulu (I'm currently playing with the Floppy EMU from BMOW I purchased years back when I had a Classic). I'm getting an X symbol on boot (from what I understand the disk images I currently are trying to use are 1.4mb and not 800k and causing that error?) But I'm...

Much appreciated. I will get the much-needed tool tomorrow afternoon and open them up for closer inspection. I have concerns that the second unit may have had some permanent damage done causing the white and black stripes (maybe battery leakage?), but that's pure speculation on a few things I've...

Interesting. I guess I'll consider myself lucky (if it works). Seller didn't seem to know when I asked.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L6DWJNN/ Appears to be the right one.

Curious, is that keyboard the same one that would have came with the unit? Or for a different machine?

Oh, I didn't know you could do that. I'd be happy leaving them battery-less if that's an option.

Here is my other keyboard which I think uses the same port? It appears newer and probably not as collectible.

Okay, thanks for that. I have a long screwdriver coming via amazon tomorrow so I can open them up. Can you recommend what batteries I should purchase to replace them?

is there an apple SE ethernet card to rj45 adapter out there? IF I dare try to connect to the internet is it even possible?

Thank you for the clarification.

Had been looking for an SE (specifically an SE/30 but no dice) on and off for a while but nothing but high-priced eBay items were really popping up for me. Checked my local Craigslist and apparently someone was selling two units for $200. One is functional, and the other one displays the black...
