I am picking up a MAC SE model 5011 with a bad SCSi HD (I am told) on the way to the workshop Saturday to play around with. Not sure if anyone is into these I think the hard drive is bad because it needs a new Apple sticker on the side. I have found if you replace the sticker the computer fixes itself.
I've got two dead miniscribe HDDs from two Mac SEs, I think the optical gate sensor for the external track 0 sensor on the head stepper (these don't use a voice coil head!) goes bad, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Symptom is the drive ramming the head into the "track -1" head stop and making a loud racket. -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu@gmail.com jgevaryahu@hotmail.com
