    Only one hard drive works

    Tested more things: Compaq 9.1Gb SCSI drive via a 68pin to 50pin adapter; this one is seen by Lido and Apple (patched) disc utility, but can't be formatted. (OSErr = 5 Bad SCSI Command: phase error.) While using this disk, scsi bus scanning with Lido was veeeery slow (~10sec per scsi device...

    Only one hard drive works

    Sorry for the lack of details: In the mac IIcx: The 8gb drive spin up, is visible as a disk, is partitionnable, is installable and bootable. (everything works). In the SE/30: At boot, the 8gb drive spin up, made clicking noises for 0.2 seconds (and then stops clicking), then it is never...

    Only one hard drive works

    Hi; I'm in the process of saving some old macs; I've encountered a difficult issue: only a specific MiniScribe 20mb hard drive works on a se/30. If I try another drive that boots fine on a IIcx (a 8gb maxtor ide drive with an acard adapter), or any other drive, it does not work. SE/30 is...

    Floppy disk drive cleaned - still don't want disks

    I really don't understand why would someone replace a 1.44 drive with a 800k one (except 1.44 drive broken and no spare). Is there any interest on the 800k drive ? As I think the 1.44 can write all formats ? I will try to make a 800k boot disk as you said techknight. Thanks Also going to...

    Floppy disk drive cleaned - still don't want disks

    I think I had some kind of extreme luck (and some bad luck after). By disappointment I tried to swap a scsi drive in to see if it works: The thing made noises like hell for 1 minute. But suddently: "welcome to mac os" and then error #3; Tried to boot with Shift key pressed, and tadam, a...

    Floppy disk drive cleaned - still don't want disks

    Thanks everyone for all your help ! Unfortunately I don't have any classic mac that runs, so making a floppy from another one is not possible. I looked for more "full images" of system floppies, come to http://www.macgeek.org/downloads/index.html (particularly the all in one 608sysst.exe...

    Floppy disk drive cleaned - still don't want disks

    Woops, the video should be ok now. Yes, the hard drive started spinning and the heads detached only after full speed, so... that was noisy.

    Floppy disk drive cleaned - still don't want disks

    Hi ! I found a mac SE/30 some 5-10 years ago, and I switched it on. I still remember the horrible sound the hard drive made. Yesterday, decided to fix it, so I opened it: I have a bunch of mac stuff of the same period sitting here, so I found an external scsi disk of the ~same capacity...
