Decided to try something. I loaded a disk, placed the drive on the ribbon cable and used a qtip to hold the micro switch down. Got a floppy icon on boot with an X in the middle. Sigh - I have another issue to fix before I put a new micro switch in...

Yep! Three weeks of soldering school in the Navy back in the 1990s has served me well.

No but it looks like they’re available at mouser.com

Is this why the motor never spins?

Quick question - is the micro switch on the left complete/whole? I expect it to have a lever like the other side. Don’t have another one to compare with.

Joshc said it best

Old thread I know but where did you source the microswitch? I think one of mine is broken... They're both supposed to have lever arms on them right?

Oh that's easy. Thanks Volvo

Thanks! I'd like to do the clock battery before I get too much further. Has anyone swapped the original 3V battery with a modern CR2032 socket?

I’ve got a card like this in an SE and have used a Mac SSH terminal to use one of my Linux servers online. Never tried a browser - terminal shell is painful enough…

Sweet! Thanks for the quick response!

Question as I can’t remember from my childhood in middle school. I have a IIGS that I’ve gone over. It chimes twice and the LED comes on. I don’t have an Apple monitor so I was going to try composite video. I’ve got all the proper Voltages but the 12V rail is 11.70V. I don’t have any disk...

It was this good - just needed some elbow grease. #lucky

Total clean up, wipe down, refurb non working 800K floppy and added MacSD. Works great! Next step is getting the Asante Ethernet card working…

Continued work on this - soldered for a temp fix. Drive is seen by my SE drive controller and when I place a disk inside it says its not initialized. It asks me "single or double" and I choose one. Disk won't format and the drive auto-ejects it immediately. I am 30 minutes in to the Branchus...

Will send a DM in the morning.

If it’s a 1.4mb I am all over it

Easy and brilliant!!!

Well - this unfortunate mishap occurred. Thinking about JB weld to mate it back together and then either soldering wire from each joint to joint or scraping the solder runs to solder them together. Anyone have any opinions about best method to repair?
