Hi Ian;
Just basic 'gremlin chase methods' ---->
Clean the Floppy ---> use a 'floppy disk cleaning disk' or carefully,
with a long Q-Tip and alcohol, wipe the surface of the 'R/W' heads in
the floppy drive.
Check [Remove/ Replace (re-seat)] the signal cables.
Someone else may have an opinion Re: PRAM battery status.

Hello
I've just bought a mint Macintosh SE which powers up with a 'bong'
and then displays the floppy disc icon with question mark, the red
LED flashes above the floppy opening and the HD seem's to be
running. When I insert a system 7 floppy that I know is good as I
have used it to install software on my Mac Classic II and other
Mac's, the SE 'Think's' for a while and then ejects the floppy! Any
ideas, where do I start?
