I see, when you hit the computer, a fraction of a second, the boot screen. That is a sign of loose solder joints. Just a matter of reflowing them, specially these from the connectors on the analog board. But from the floppy drive, I only hear the disk spinning and the steppenmotor of the...

There is a good video about repairing and restoring this type of floppy drive:

Could be a gear of the eject mechanism broke. Does the disk come out after a few seconds? When it is not a system disk, the Mac will ejects the disk. When one of the gears broke, the motor of the eject mechanism keeps spinning and that is maybe what you hear. Luckily these gears (it is just one...

Well, both Illustrator and QuarkPress could work independently from having a monochome or color monitor. In Illustrator you can fill shapes with a color difined by CYMK colors. The only thing you need to fill in are the percentages of each separate process color. Illustrator has also the PMS...

This sounds like a voltage problem to me. Have you measured the voltages with a multimeter? Here a photo on how to measure.

I even did graphic design full color work on a Mac Plus in the 90s for a while, using Illustator 88 and QuarcPress 3.1 besides my normal job in a printing company. Worked fine, even with a 1bit 512x384 screen.

The BlueSCSI CD switcher is not for real CD-roms, but for CD-rom files that are on the CD-card. With this programm, you can switch between those files that it looks like you change a CD-rom. You put these files in the folder in the root of the SD-card with the name, for example, CD4. Meaning...

Well, not at the moment of my reply. I did only have that drive. Recently I bought Hyperdrive parts on eBay and now it's nearly complete. Only need a Mac Plus, but I'm working on that.

A few months ago I bought a Macintosh SE on a local marketplace. It started up, but did not boot. When I picked it up, I brought some 800K floppy disks and my FEMU with me. The floppy drive was running rough, but it booted. Turned out the hard drive died. But still, it worked and was already...

And it make it also possible to use a HD20 disk on the floppy port. The original SE/30-ROM does not support that.

I have a hard drive laying around which came originally from a Mac Plus Hyperdrive 20 system. I'm not sure if this is the drive you looking for. I only can find this on the disc: Miniscribe Corporation Model 8425 Serial No. CA 107832 If you are interested, let me know.
