Yeah im not using 1.44mb disks just the of age double sided 720k disks

Its just a platinum SE not the 30 though it has all banks of ram filled, I probably should try to swap the drives, just I was asking first to see if this is like a common problem if the system is like not able to run on the plus, before ripping out things Well im half assuming its the disks not...

I cleaned the Macintosh plus's drive and greased it all up I haven't with the SE it was actually for a mac so I just cracked it open to remove the battery and see if it boots and reconnect everything... As for the SE when I leave the newly made disk inside of it, it boots with the floppy drive...

So awhile ago I picked up a dead Macintosh Plus that ended up being alive after a cleaning and actually plugging in the CRT and other cables. After a full cleaning and such I got to the point where I wanted to run an OS on it. I am running into the problem of knowing if the drive is good or not...

I do actually have a copy of FWB HDT, I just tried it out, but it doesn't see the card or the drive attached to it either. The JackHammer extension has been placed on the drive that I'm booting from, and in the "Slots" Section I don't see the hammer listed. Ditto when I run Slot Info 1.0a2. The...

I suppose that it could be possible that my specific Q950 dislikes the JackHammer, but is that really a thing? I mean, I would think that the JackHammer of all things would have been designed with a Quadra 950 in mind.  You're right, no crashes with just the Radius video card and me booting off...

IIfx, multiple PRAM resets have not solved the issue, unfortunately. :(  This machine also lives without a PRAM battery installed.  There haven't been any incidents where a NuBus card has popped out of its slot that I'm aware of. I searched for many years to even find a Q950, so I try to baby...

Unknown_K, I'm going to guess that the fuse is the silver component in the top left hand side of the card marked "F1" (Picture Attached) Without removing the component from the board, it reads .3 Ohms and has continuity. I'm using a Quantum Atlas 10K TN09L881 with this card.

Thanks for the thoughts, CC_333.  I have considered that the machine is failing, but other NuBus cards work in the same slots. The Q950's mainboard is all solid state, and so is the JackHammer. I unfortunately don't have any other NuBus-based machines that are working at the moment that I can...

Hey all, I've got a Quadra 950 that I've had for a few years that has recently started to have some issues.  Its got 256MB of RAM, a Radius PrecisionColor 24xk and an FWB SCSI JackHammer in it currently. However, the SCSI JackHammer has suddenly failed, in fact, two of them have failed or are...
