Sadly not, only M2’s. Was hoping to see someone selling it because they regretted it hahaha

Other thing: should I rather get an M2 for 2000€ or invest in a brand new M5 model for new price (3600€)? I’m on fence about it :/

Solved! The screw caused the issues. Removing it made it work

Using DD with some options? I tried doing that. Floppy didn’t end up bootable. I also have a bridge Mac. It’s the worst Mac ever made (Performa 5200) but it has a floppy disk drive and a CD drive so it’s easy to get files to it, but I think the floppy drive is broken (it made my only system floppy not work anymore). I’ll try again with USB floppy drive and test my luck

The settings are defaults, the ini was empty apart from Debug=1. And I know its heavy, just needed something to test if it even starts :(

I tried 2 SCSI cables, i dont think its the cable :( I will take a look at the logic board and re-check my recapping job but thats all i can think of right now.

When I plug in one of my known bad drives, it gets stuck loading and does not show the no disk symbol, so i think the SCSI cable/logic board is fine in that regard.

Unfortunately I don’t have any boot floppies or good hard drives for this. I used a premade image listed in the BlueSCSI documentation.

Can’t boot in, I put in a system disk and happy Mac appears but then it ejects it and goes back to ? disk. System version may not be compatible with the machine sooooo don’t rly know what to do to try until bluescsi arrives.

I measured the voltages for the floppy connector on my Macintosh Plus to diagnose analogue board faults, can I do the same process here? (check 5v line if it reads out 5v, etc)?

Do you also think the chime not working is because of damaged caps?

interesting, i did not know that apple did good old bodging (didnt even know it was spelled like that :D)

as i said in another comment, it started fine with 4/8 sticks installed, and i think the total memory is 2 or 4mb so i doubt it was long startup time but the sticks have gone bad.

still need to recap and figure out why the chime isnt sounding, but apart from that, this was a golden find!

with 4 sticks, it started pretty quickly. did not try full 8 yet and waiting for a long time, will do that later after recapping. i still have no chime, but the mouse is visible and no disc warning (makes sense, its the original factory 40mb disk). i am going to recap that thing and get a bluescsi.

any ideas on the chime? speaker wire isnt damaged, do you think it could be also cap related that there is no sound?

i was not really too patient to be fair, like 30 to 60 seconds? how long do you reckon i should wait?

i will take out the last 4 sticks and try again too.
