So, I just attempted recapping my SE/30.
I still have horizontal stripes on a cold boot not otherwise though. I think initialization may be a bit delayed. On a reboot it chimes fine.. on a cold boot it is a bit weaker.
After it boots System 6 floppy will boot most of the time. I havne't been able to boot a system 7 floppy though (could be the floppies dunno I intend to reimage them from my PB190 to check that)
The HD doesn't spin up so I suspect either the connections or the scsi chip itself.... would the SCSI chip being bad cause a floppy to fail to finish booting it hangs right before the desktop appears. Sometimes at the last part of the loading banner other times with a white blank menu and blank desktop.
When I first got it.. I it would load up the SCSI HD every other boot or so... also I noticed the decoupling caps on the HD seem loose and get a bit warm when touched (possibly burned up the SCSI chip like that... I mean decoupling caps shouldn't get hot like that)
I just grabbed 2 chips on ebay here just in case for $8 total assuming the guy accepts my offer.... can't hurt to have em.
