Performa 630 Floppy Read Problems
Posted by: Jonweimer on 2025-04-03 16:41:23
I have a Performa 630 and the other day it let out some magic smells without any smoke. Now the floppy will not read. I swapped another board in, and the floppy works on that board so it must be the board. I don’t see any visable damage on the board and the only wonkiness I’m noticing is 0L on c68. But I don’t think that’s in the floppy circuit. Can anyone help?IMG_0828.jpegIMG_0829.jpeg
