ok, so i got a mac SE off ebay, for a decent deal. now a logic board,
floppy drive, CRT tube (I let the magic gas out of the first one)
later, im back where i started. i write a boot disk with my powerbook
1400cs, pop it in. it boots up to the system software. i go to hd sc
setup like i did when i used my external floppy to boot, and it shows
nothing. the first time, i got to boot with an external floppy and the
old logic board, and it showed the drive until i attempted to format
it, which it wouldnt. after that, i couldnt see the drive again, and
my boot disk kept getting wiped each use, and id have to reload it. so
then, i replaced the board, the CRT, and the floppy, and now its still
doing the same damn thing as it was before. is it possible i need new
or replacement SCSI and floppy cables? its just being really
weird.....
