[QUOTE="Papalapa, post: 1805507, member: 400766"] After succesfully restoring an Intel iMac 2006 and a Macintosh LC II now there’s a new kid in town: [img]https://i.imgur.com/yj2qtLm.jpg[/img] I recently buyed this Macintosh SE 1/20 and is in very good condition in general terms, it only needs a floppy drive grease and cleaning and a memory upgrade already ordered. I was happy for this but after two hours testing the machine the hard disk made a strange noise and now it sounds like the disk is not correctly spining and of course cannot be used. After an Internet search I found that the “solution” is to take off the electronic board of the hard disk and turn the flywhell a little bit manually. Of course this is not an elegant solution and most probably the drive will fail soon and that’s why I wonder if there’s any way to replace this drive by another one. I’m not talking to increase the size because most probably MacOS will not be able to handle the whole disk, but if can be partitioned up to 20MB or 40MB will be enough for me, even if the rest of the disk size remains useless. The goal is to have a reliable drive instead of a “brick” and most probably in the USA (home of the Macintosh) you’ll have better workarounds that in Europe where these models do not achieved the same sales level... This is the Miniscribe hard disk: [img]https://i.imgur.com/RVyTdhW.jpg[/img] Thank you! [/QUOTE]
