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…

I like the mallet idea, but to date have done a few of these things by scoring along the seam lines with a knife or razor saw, then taping the thing back together to facilitate eas…

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…

Yes you could do floppies but those are getting harder to find and my experience is that the fail after some time. My floppy collection probably looses 10% of its members every ye…

http://pure-mac.com/appud.html#airport You have the latest Airport version installed?

Actually CelGen, you did well, even if you can't use this one for your 10MB ProFile.  It is a collectible chip at least.   The two I bought I got in the $20 range also.  You just h…

Router probably is wep2 and original airport only supports WEP.

I run system 7 on mine, just because made making floppies easier.

Recelling lol. That's what I get for typing this on a smartphone.

Maybe an error concerning Wireless protection, WEP will work, but anything younger will be more difficult.

Yep no problems at all booting from an external hard drive. But yes, Pluses never had an internal anyway... booting from floppies and running off floppies was the normal manner …

Mine's old enough that it doesn't have a hard drive, will System 6 run on floppies and if not it can boot from an external hard drive right?

+1 for getting a copy of 6... max1zzz has a mirror of the old now defunct unsupported software archive up on the web and you can find .sea files of the System 6 startup disk set he…
