Because it runs only off floppy disk?
Anyway, when I got this x68000, 2nd floppy drive was missing and the first did die after recap, or it was dead before.

All caps changed, new battery and new silent fan installed.

Good work.I noticed you used the internal SCSI adapter board I designed some time ago.Did you printed the PCB yourself?

It is actually the one you did solder for me some time ago :). I've given up on installing internally CF in my first compact. It runs CF externally. The 2nd compact was far more suited for the purpose, of internal CF, because of broken/missing fdd. I did swap the SCSI sub boards in these machines last weekend.
