SE/30 freezes when trying to access a floppy disk
Posted by: keropi6k6 on 2021-02-01 04:42:27 Hiya ! My SE/30 started doing this yesterday: once you insert a floppy disk it access it twice , the hdd/trashcan/alias icons on desktop disappear and the system freezes. On reset the mac will eject the floppy disk. I have a BMOW Rominator-II and it also freezes with the ROM/RAM boot options - so it's not something going on with the hdd-system setup. Already tried re-sitting cables and do a visual mobo inspection - all look good. Any idea what this could be? Thanks!
Posted by: keropi6k6 on 2021-02-01 05:12:10 I think some ram is bad - disabling 32bit mem-access (so 8MB is useable) does not freeze the system with rom boot on normal hdd OS boot I get this error: Sorry, a system error occurred. "Finder" unimplemented trap will try with some new ram tomorrow unless someone else suspects something else :b&w: edit: do I need ram with parity for the se/30?
