I've got a few books on programming for Mac so am considering writing some software - though I'm not sure where the demand is. I wanted to write an interface to a social media site, but I can't find any existing code for interfacing with the HTTPS protocol and I'm not sure I'd have the time to...

You're right - I didn't make it obvious, but no - I'm not using an external floppy. I'm confident once the filters are changed the problem will be resolved. Am waiting for a quote.

phreakout: Just noticed the floppy connects to the SCSI controller? I wonder why?

phreakout: That's amazing. I can pass that on to the electrician so he can trace he problem. Thanks! techknight: That's very good news - it means I'm not wasting my time. Excellent. Dennis Nedry: The RS website has so many DIP sockets and to my untrained eye I couldn't see one that looked...

I can't work out which IC socket I would need. The chip is here: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/rc-network-capacitors/6909903 Any ideas?

I haven't tried another floppy, but I believe the one I have is actually from a Classic II as the one that came with the SE/30 didn't work (or I didn't trust it). Thanks guys for all your help.

Thanks for that. I'll get the electrician to check them for me - I've got the wiring diagram for them. I was lead to believe they can expire like caps? I think we're lucky here in the UK as RS stock the filters for £3ish each, and we have an account with them at work where we get a discount...

I guess there's no reason why I can't get the filters changed on the other board too and hope that works. Here they're only a few pounds. The problem is if it's the floppy controller - they're not something you can get anymore.

I've won a working SE/30 on eBay so am going to abandon this board and get another one recapped. While I'm at it I might get the filters changed, unless there's a reason not to. Seems to make sense to get as much fixed as possible preemptively. I'm justifying the purchase using the fact it'll...

Ah - thanks. I could post it, but it would probably cost a fortune. That said, you're probably more likely to get it working than anyone here. Love your website by the way!

Got the chip, only to discover it needs to be soldered (something I'm not comfortable doing). Also, I think there are two of these filters on the board, based on the existing chip numbers and this page: http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html which indicates which chip the filter...

Also, I've removed and reset the ROM. Not sure if the floppy controller is pop-out-able either... I very much doubt I could buy a replacement chip anyway.

I have ordered a new filter chip, but I'm not sure if it's pop-out-able? Will look at the board.

Here's a screenshot.

I've tried it with a scsi drive connected and no drive connected. Get the same problem. Ironically I never have a problem booting. I'm using a SATA to SCSI acard adapter. I came home to it working, only for it to start again a few restarts later. Also, have booted system 7.5 disk tools and...

No, but the issue comes up without the floppy connected.

Well, I haven't - and I don't think I saw this from the start - only recently. I have attached an external SCSI CD Drive.

Interestingly, if I pull the floppy drive I get two messages, one for the internal drive and one for the external drive. I assume I've got a bad floppy controller???

Hi, I'm working on reviving an old SE/30. I've got it to the stage where I've had the motherboard recapped and am running on a SSD drive, however I have one big problem. On occasion, and then persistently, I get an error that states "The disk is unreadable: Do you want to initialize it?" with...

Nah, not burn in. Ghosting. I can see it most when using the pull down menus. It's like the white is smudged.
