Aug 16, 2015 This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. I have tried taking the Mac apart again, but I couldn't see anything different in the drive to how it was when I put it in. What have I.ed up? Is there any hope for the floppy drive, and, indeed my Mac Plus? Thanks, Daniel PS What happens if I simply disconnect the floppy drive, will the Mac still boot from the HD? What in God's name are you talking about? Every Mac from 1984 to 1998 had 3.5' floppy drives. The first Mac under my control was a Mac SE with two 3.5' floppy drives and no hard drive. The original iMac in 1998 was the first not to have a floppy drive. You must be confusing 5.25' floppy drives with 3.5' floppy drives. I thought Id start a new thread focused solely on this topic.The Macintosh SE that I bought a month ago came with a floppy disk labeled Your Apple Tour of the Macintosh SE. When I tested it the, the disk was read, and I worked through the intro program. So I know it worked not long ago.Meanwhile.
I have a Macintosh 512k. The floppy drive has the yellow plastic disk-shaped piece inserted in the floppy drive. After turning it on, I see the disk icon with the question mark and it sounds like the floppy drive is trying to read the 'disk'. Apple iphone x user manual. The icon then changes to a disk with an 'x' and the drive never ejects the plastic insert. The sound of the drive never changes. The sound is constant.
I try to manually eject the plastic insert using a paper clip inserted in the hole next to the disk slot. I am unable to manually eject the plastic insert.
I have read on this forum that sometimes the drive needs lubricating or that a gear in the drive mechanism becomes stripped.
I popped the case, but the drive is inaccessible.
Any ideas on 1) How to get the plastic insert out, and 2) Whether it is likely the drive would be able to read an actual disk.
Thanks
