800K drive stuck in eject loop at power up

[krye]

I scored an SE with a dead power supply for $20 bucks. I figured I could pull the floppy out of it and put it in my Mac Plus that needs one. However, when I power up the Plus, the floppy drive just gets stuck in an eject loop.

It's a Sony MP-F51W-23 800K drive, so it should work in the Plus. Anyone know what failure mode this suggests?

I think you need a yellow striped cable for it to work on the Plus.

You can also cut one or two lines, but I don't know which ones.

Ah never mind. I put in in another SE and it doesn't read.
