Working off a previously unknown ProFile. BLU says that everything seems to be okay. Takes formats with no issue and installs the OS and tools flawlessly. Bad Blocks and Reallocation don't show anything concerning.
Yet right off the bat things start corrupting themselves or not working. The ImageWriter vanishes out of the preferences (but Print monitoring sees it), the Preference tool itself will eventually fail (can display one tab but not another), print monitoring loses its marbles for the inkjet and plotter drivers, then the tools begin to flake and then finally the OS itself starts to flake where it won't work on one reboot but will on the next. Makes the system really hard to work with when tools randomly stop working or the entire system hangs. Doesn't seem to matter if the machine runs hot or cold.
Sometimes using the repair option form the install set fixes it but otherwise you are forced to reinstall which is both time consuming and very annoying. I have tried with different Parallel cables.

Is this the drive that I gave you last fall? With the way things were stored at the previous owner's house, I wouldn't be surprised if it went bad. Most everything was stored in his basement for years.

Yeah, it's the same drive. It showed the signs of poor storage but I assumed the HDA was still pretty clean once the ground brush was repaired and the bearings were given time to sort themselves out.

I'm guessing it's time to find another MFM "squeaker"...

Fun.
Okay, thanks for the input. Having seen most of the lisa youtube videos only really show the system start and shut down I was going out on a limb and assuming naturally the OS was buggy.

So I tried the new ribbon parallel cable I crimped a while back when I questioned the others for complete failure and did a reinstall. It seems to of quieted down now so it might actually of been that both my Apple cables were bad.

Hopefully it continues to work properly.

You used a Z8603 for 5MB or Z8613 plus the special debug ROM when using BLU to do the low level format, right? Just checking.
