Could you take a photo? I don't think I've ever seen an "external disk drive icon". What happens if you boot an earlier system from the internal floppy, like System 6?

can you take pictures of these main boards…..     So far all i am aware of, is the earlier Macintosh II boards with all Axial caps,   { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lig…

Thanks for all the answers.

Its a little late for me to post, but I agree with CCC's and Uniserver's findings.

Found a couple you sent me a while back, uni. I'll update

Ok. I'll change them if I have any. If not, I'll PM you. Been looking for spares, but seems like 30 is minimum order.

cc-333 is correct the problem is the bourns filter has gone bad.    its a common problem. they go bad in a few different ways, causing oddness. i change those... but usually i sug…

I've had read/write problems with bourns in the past, but not this. Uniserver or technight would be the experts on that.

Maybe it's a faulty Bourns filter? That seems to be a common cause of bizarre floppy-related problems like this. c

Caps have been replaced (not by me) no battery it was removed and there was no corrosion. Is the searching for the external floppy part of the rom, software, or other hardware? F…

battery explosion?

caps? corrosion on motherboard?

The internal floppy is working ok. The warning box shows a Mac with an external floppy drive next to it with the warning. Should have clarified that

If it thought it was the floppy, it would show a floppy icon. Do you not have a floppy you can boot from?

I would guess the floppy drive is stuck in and it does not move or something to that effect.

Got an SE30 going, however, it continually give a dialog box stating the disk is unrecognized and asks to reject or initialize. The icon shows an external disk drive in the warning…

I bought a Data I/O System 19 with Unipak that should arrive shortly.  It should go down to 2708s.  It's  a gamble.  I am also building an ME1702a programmer so I can do 1702a's to…

For years I ran a Mac 512Ke, Plus, and SE with system 6.0.4 floppies. I can search and look about for them but I no longer have 800K Disks to copy to. I need to hit up eBay for old…

You should of mentioned. My Willem station can do 2716's...or I think I did. I don't immediately have at hand the SCSI card for my Lisa. Anyways, I can hold onto the chip regardle…
