I'm looking into two classics:
A plus and SE/30, both for a good price.
However the SE/30 is listed as "Powers up to a bright screen, but only displays a checkered board design."
The plus is listed as "Powers up to a bright, sharp screen. The floppy drive is "stiff" and may work with a good cleaning. Right now I can't get it to boot from floppy."
1) I've heard the checkerboard on an SE/30 means you need to clean the ROMS/RAM http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#CheckerFlag I think I can handle removing and cleaing with alcohol a ROM and it's connector or removing RAM until it has the right config.
2)Would that be as proper description of a Plus with no Boot Floppy? I'm guessing the floppy drive needs greased, which if anyone knows a good way to do please let me know.
