Hi guys, new to the Vintage Mac group--looking forward to participating here as I attempt to get my newly acquired Macintosh SE FDHD in fully working condition. :-)
As I said, I acquired a (mostly) working Macintosh SE FDHD over the weekend. It's in excellent condition, and I snagged it for only $18. Unfortunately, it only boots sporadically at best. I've been able to get it to boot up completely only about three times. Best I can tell from googling, seems it has a hard drive suffering from "stiction". I'd love to replace the drive in this old Macintosh, but I'm unclear exactly what I should be looking for. Will any SCSI hard drive be compatible in this machine? Seems to be extremely difficult to find the lower capacity disk drives at a reasonable price. Higher capacity drives seems much easier to locate and much more reasonably priced. What are my options here? From the same googling I did earlier, most of the sites listed as selling vintage Mac parts haven't been updated in years. Is there a place to get something to fix this ailing classic at a decent price? Thanks for the help, look forward to checking back often. :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
