Ok got some testing done, not good news.
1. AfterMAc's drive is good (tested on my SE), but the IIfx just gives me a disk with an X when I plug it in and try to boot from a disk (…
For anyone interested here's a link to a Lemswap post for a free 128K Mac, upgraded to a 512K.
NOT my sale.

I think it would be more interesting to convert it to USB (same thing, just new chip which can be found pretty much everywhere)
course I think old keyboards on new systems are jus…
I'll crack open my spare SE tonight. Not only does it have two floppy bays (which means I won't have to take the other one out), it also has a good working HD installed. I can kil…

My guess at this point would be a lack of power to the drive. You should be able to hear it do *something*.

The drive must be receiving +5V because of the X …

Sorry for the lag, I was away from my workstations this weekend. The second image you posted, Tron, works fine. Here are the numbers:

Right, the Blueberry is finished, with 10.4.11 on a 10gb hard drive and the USB wifi dongle. Taking apart and upgrading etc took far less time than before, just a couple of hours..…
You sometimes find those oddball clones on the European ebay sites, because most of them were sold there. I have yet to find a Maxxboxx for sale,though, and I want one.

Dennis, to answer a couple of your questions, yes the drive is auto-inject, but it's not necessarily known working. It was working when it was pulled quite a while ago, but I did n…
If AfterMac's spare drive hooked up I now get a disk with a red X through it.

I assume the X appears red because of your unusual monitor setup. In actuality…

It's towards the front center and the speaker is towards front right IIRC. So sort of.
No it's a memory board like socket.
No clue. I know that unless both are good it won't tu…
Is the ROM card by the speaker?
If the ROM is soldered to the board, is it by the batteries?

I can't tell from the picture. It could be. I think I saw in one of those articles that a SCSI card would be supported on the Daystar special bus.

Also, just missed out on a Lombard that went for 21 pounds (I bid 20). I think it was a Lombard, I spent hours looking at pics and specs trying to find out.
