I never did try with the floppy drive disconnected... That never occurred to me. Yes, uniserver, you recapped the board - and did a beautiful job I might add... I do electrical work for a living and I hate soldering. Nothing ever turns out right - but the board never worked. I got caught up in a massive job change, two deaths in the family and a ton of other crap so I never investigated further nor did I respond to you. Truly unprofessional and unacceptable on my part.

I really want to get this board going somehow and it just seems like it's something really dumb from keeping it going.

I did check the interupt and reset switches... Both are good. I will also double check the VLSI and make sure it's clean.

Does the board you have have the full 040? I assume that's the 25mhz quadra board?
