Hi,
The mac is an SE (there is no SE/20 designation as mentioned) with 1 20MB hard drive installed, 1 800k floppy drive and 1 meg of ram.
The external drives do not work with a Macplus I have also, I can hear them spinning and the trying to read write but they do that forever and never show up in the finder or with HD setup SCSI scan.
The internal HD on the SE does not show up in the finder and when I use HD Setup to find and initialize it if fails the initialization.
The SE also has a bad internal floppy that will not read any of my 800K dd disk,and has a hard time eject them too. luckily i have an external 800k drive that works fine.
Its tough troubleshooting when so many items appear to be defective.
The SE does boot from the external floppy just fine. Any other thoughts on a replacement internal drive? What I can use, where i can get one? Does the LIDO program work with internal apple drive? I don't have it but can get it from rescuemyclassicmac.com, a great resource for old system related disks.
I have heard that you need a patched HD setup for 3rd party drives.
Thanks,
Everett
