When I was doing it I found a tutorial online on how to do it and where to apply the lube.  I can't remember the address but if you google it you may be able to find it.

Well, I tore open the external floppy disk tonight and got the mechanism unstuck by using small dabs of WD-40.  I have to hold the eject button open to insert/eject disks, but at l…

Yes I fixed mine with lube, just don't over do it

Howdy from Texas.  [] ]'>   I was given a Macintosh 128K & Apple ImageWriter I by one of my clients a few years ago and just got around to booting it up.  Unfortuna…

posting their Mac TVs I figured I would post mine too. I have been waiting to have a more complete setup and yes that is design keyboard from Europe and not proper keyboard but it'…

Sounds like a good candidate for recycling heavily damaged/busted up case plastics using olde school techniques: Cut texture matched flat panel section of case to fit SE's floppy …

Man, I never really knew I needed this until now. Would be cool to have one to cover the floppy slot actually.

You have a 3D printer? Nice. I don't know of a 3D model of the drive cover, but if someone has an SE drive cover and a 3D scanner, they could scan it in.

So I have a Macintosh SE with an internal hard drive... but no drive cover on the second floppy slot.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a 3D model that I can print for this?  I hav…

I have never built one, but the idea of making one (and getting some soldering skills in the process) for less than US$50k or whatever a totally beat-up Apple I usually goes for. (…

I agree with Macdrone. Apple Utility HD will format the drive if it is working. That is a Big if. What kind of noises is the drive making? Anything other a constant high pitched w…

Well you can try Apple HD utility on a system 7 floppy.  But I am gonna jump out on a limb and say the hard drive inside is stuck or dead unless you know it was erased.

Hi, I have a classic two which has to support for hd20 emulation. It has a hard drive in it, which spins up and makes noises, but it does not mount when I boot up the mac. Is there…

Thanks TheDoctor, thanks Byrd Took another tack. Partitioned the drive to less than 2 GB and tried an install of OS 7.6 from the original CD that came with the 3400c. Still no joy…

Good pick up, TheDoctor - you might be on to something  Hope you get there AichEss.

I suspect this is the problem. If you are installing Mac OS 9.1 on a PowerBook 3400 running Mac OS 9.04, you must perform the installation without updating your hard disk dr…

What size is your SATA drive?  There's a limit of ~128GB on the older Macs.

I couldn't get a ZIF PATA - mSATA adapter to work on my MBA.

So you probably want an ATA-6 drive unless someone can correct me there. I had a similar problem.
