So, I'm not only at the beginning stages of getting my SE/30 to a restored state, but I'm also learning more and more about. One thing that I justed checked was if it had an 800K or SuperDrive in it. I put a  floppy in and formatted it and low and behold, it formatted to 1,404. Close enough to 1.44. I then popped that floppy into two of my PCs (One with a real floppy and one with a USB floppy). Neither would read the disk.
I loaded up the ol' Hex editor so see what was on sector 0. All that was F6's.

So, any ideas what's going on OR what I might be missing (due to a little n00b on my part)?

(UPDATE: Ok, a little more looking and I noticed that Sector 1 and 2 did have something other than F6's so I probably have some more investigating to do).

Thanks,
