Hey everyone, I've just recently started collecting some vintage Macs and I ran into an issue and could use some help diagnosing. I've purchased two SE/30s now and one works flawlessly and the second one does as well, except for the HDD. I can boot up off the floppy properly into the OS but when I run the disk utility to initialize the disk for an install of the OS, it does not find any drives. Now admittidly, I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something but I seem to have looked through all the options and I did this on the other one without a problem.
The HDD spins up so it's getting power. I've done two things: 1) I've replaced the cable then tested. Same thing. 2) I even placed in a half-height SCSI drive that I know works and nothing (there could be a clear compatibility issue here preventing this, not sure. Was just a test). Any thoughts or has anyone come across another way of diagnosing? Everything seems to run perfect otherwise so not sure if there is an issue on the board or with the IDE controller. Not sure where to go from here. Thanks in advance for any help! --Chad -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
