I've now tried replacing the floppy drive; using a new floppy cable; and hooking power up to an external MOLEX power supply.
Both floppy cables were of the single-drive variety (ribbon cable with notch at each end and a twist in the wiring). I've also tried flipping the cable around (so that the twist is closer to the board).
The only things I haven't yet tried is using an old-school floppy cable (with a 5.25" edge connector in the middle rather than a 1-to-1 3.5" cable) and replacing the actual SCP board.
I'll see if I can source an old-school cable on EBay.
