Re: SE/30 SCSI toast
The NCR SCSI chip - UI12 (53C80) - has been known to fail, twice in SE/30's I have owned. It would be worth checking its solder joints with a microscope but changing it out - if you can find a replacement - requires hot air soldering equipment that I don't have access to any longer. Capacitor leakage is usually visible as transparent contamination a centimeter or two around the capacitors. If it isn't visible with a little magnification it's probably not your problem. Visual inspection of the board shows it to be clean. I don't see any obvious signs of capacitor leakage, so I suspect it's the scsi chip itself given the symptoms. Drat. I'm definatly not setup to pull/replace it. So, guess it's time for this box to move on, it's either getting a g3/g4 rammed down it's throat, or, well, I don't have an 'or' figured out yet.

Find a cheapo 10baseT hub to put between the switch and the SE/30. Most of the older PDS ethernet cards don't do nway negotiation right.

Speaking of LCDs in SE/30's...
I've been toying with the idea of hopping up an SE/30 for quite awhile. I have a unit now with 128mb ram, 36gb 15k rpm HD, ethernet, etc running NetBSD quite well. I tried finding a 68040 upgrade, got so far as a Daystar IIsi powercache adapter, and have been stalled since. In the meantime, I've built a frankenmac G4, and decided it'd be nice to have that kind of horsepower in a traditional compact form factor. Inspired by http://www.nextro.com/nextro/english/i30.html I've been searching for a low cost LCD that'll do 1024x768 and fit the SE/30's case. Like others, I've had little luck, so I'm downgrading my expectations. I've found 9 POS monitors show up on Ebay fairly regularly, for around $20 to $50. Many of them are color, and capible of 1024x768. Ok, so I've got a potential monitor. Next is the upgrade. From my adventures in G4 construction, I have a gigabit mobo thats flakey, a G4 466mhz cpu, good ram, and a few Apple compatible AGP video cards. So, were I to source a G4 Cube's internals that would be the natural choice. Looks like a few people have used iMac internals as well, which I think I can source, but I'd prefer something with a G4 and AGP... Looking at the cheaper side... VIA Epia micro-itx mobos should fit, I can almost fit a standard micro-atx mobo with some work. Pear PC is nearing full functionality with OS X, really just missing sound and usb passthrough.

Re: mp3 on se
On the PC side, I can ALMOST get a Cyrix DRx2-66 (clock doubled 386 + 1k L1 cache) to do real time mp3 decoding and playback, mono, reduced bitrate. A real 486DX-2 66 can play mp3's realtime, but not at crazy high bitrates, DOS only. Based on that, you MIGHT be able to squeeze an MP3 out of a 68030-50 with cache like a Daystar acelerated mac, but doubtful. You COULD decode the mp3's to wav/au/etc durring off times when you're not actively using the SE and play those back, but they would end up taking up huge tracts of HD per song.

A couple of questions: 1) Do I turn the External HD on first or the computer? 2) What SCSI ID# should I use for it? It's currently set on zero, but I was curious if there's another # to try out and, when I do this, do I need to shut down everything each time or how should it be done correctly? Thanks in advance for any help! Steve The 'norm' is the boot drive should be ID 0. The SCSI controller usually occupies ID 7, so the drive CAN'T be that ID. Most macs I've played with will boot the first HD they find reguardless of ID, so assuming no other devices are present, and termination is set properly, any id other than 7 should be fine.

Re: Daystar card for SE or LC?
I have one that looks like that. But I can't get it to work. Does it need software? johnsn The Power Central 2.2 control is for it, but Daystar stuff typically works without their drivers. Maybe in this case it won't work without it. I do know for sure that it won't work with earlier versions of the Power Central control panel. Btw, I was poking around Power Central 2.2 with ResEdit and found indications that this setup, or another version of it, is designed to work with both the SE and the Classic. I just revived my SE and got the card working. (33mhz 68030, 32kb cache, no fpu.) From what I can tell, the machine will run without the software, you just don't get accelerated. For refrence I'm using a 7.5.3 clean minimal install. You can also remove just the PowerCache card, leave the adapter assembly plugged in, and run that way as well.

Do they only store the archives for so long? Anyhow, I just checked Verizon's webpage (I have been doing so about once every six months) and found out that DSL is finally available on my phone line. I also saw that the modem they provide uses ethernet instead of USB. I'm in hog heaven now! But before I sign up, I've got one little problem. My little SE/30. Can this machine still be used with DSL? If it matters, it has 20M of RAM, a 1G HD, an Assante ethernet card and is running system 7.1 (updated), with OT 1.1.2. I pretty much only use it on the internet to check email (using Claris Emailer 1.1v3), but I would hate to have to keep paying for dialup just to check my email. I'm asking here because the system requirements that verizon lists obviously rule out my SE/30. Actually, they make it confusing by saying you need OS X and powerPC processor of at least 120Mhz. I've decide to ask here first, as if I call them they are going to tell me I need OS X and that will be the end of the discussion. Does anyone here have an 030 machine running 7.1 hooked up to DSL? Not that this would be a regular occurrance, but does iCab work on it? Claris Emailer? Right now I've got three machines hooked up to a four port hub. If I hook the modem to the hub, would it be possible for the three machines to use DSL, or would I need a router of sorts? If I do need a router, will file sharing between my three machines still work? I would appreciate any insight on these questions, either on or off list. If anything I've asked is too far OT (there's been alot of that going around lately), please respond offlist. Thanks in advance, J White -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Sabotage: how do they do it?
There are plenty of programs out there that can do that, both intentionally and unintentionally. wget on *nix and cygwin has a total mirror option, which will download every single thing on a website. Then there are other things like some browsers have an option to reload a page every X number of seconds, which can do it. Then there are the hax0ring tools that intentionally run up the bandwidth of various sites. Unfortunately, DoS attacks are something more and more sites are having to put up with these days. Scott But I don't understand how they could do that without running up earthlink's hit counter. Gamba Not knowing what technique Earthlink uses to count 'hits' they may have just syn flooded the site, not actually completing connections, but generating network traffic?

Re: Odd brightness flickering...
Much, but not all, of the fix revolves around cold solder joints. On the bottom of the 'board and on the board on the back of the CRT. You see oxydized solder spots that aren't bright silver. Those need to be re-soldered and that normally cures the problems associated with cold solder joints such as flickering. Jeff I second that. If you're brave, take the cover off, get a plastic something to use as a probe. (There is HIGH voltage in there, so NO metal/wood.) Power up the classic, and while AVOIDING the back of the tube, stay on the other side of the upright board on the side of the case, watch the screen while you tap the board with your probe. Find a spot where tapping causes flickering, thats where you need to resolder most likely. You may find it's the pots for screen adjustment as it is on my SE/30. In that case get some tuner cleaner, use as directed, then readjust your screen. Joshua Coombs -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Asante NIC and my SE/30: Ethernet problems
I'm running the same NIC in my SE/30, but I'm not using the Asante drivers. The ethernet drivers included in 7.5.3 'just work' out of the box. I've heard bad things in the past about the Asante driver pack, might be worth while to rip them out and use the stock drivers. Second possibility, change the address on the card, mine needed to be switched when I put a large (9gb or bigger) HD on the machine. Still haven't figured thatone out yet.

Re: Stay Back! My (?) SE/30 is Ill!
SoBig and a few other viri/worms floating around, do indeed infect machines via email, and begin spewing garbage email out. I'd bet money your machine isn't infected. Instead what you're seeing is one of those infected machines somehow catching wind of your e-mail address, either in the infected user's address book, or in any plaintext file on their infected system. The worm uses that along with other addresses it harvests off the machine as the 'From:' address for the crap it spews. So, when it sends mail out that a remote system, say AOL blocks and bounces, they bounce it back to the 'From:' (you) instead of the machine that actually generated the crap. A quick look at the bounces and headers will reveal that the mail is or is not orriginating from your machine.

My (?) SE/30 is Ill! I hope my machine isn't really ill, but it may be: A few days ago, I received an email from AOL that said a email address I sent something to was unknown. I didn't think anything of it, as alot of the addresses I reply to (on this and other lists) are unknown to me. This morning I received two more messages with different emails, but also @AOL. So I went through my sent mail, and didn't see any of the three in there. Then I went through and searched for them (one at a time) through all my saved messages. Nothing there either, except for the three messages AOL sent me with these bogus email addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], can't recall the third) After that I called my ISP, and as usual, they told me to update my Windows security files. Naturally, that did not work :) So I got to talk to one of two guys that I've run across at their support desk that know something about computers (Mac or PC, anyone can read a prompter on a screen I guess), and he insists a virus. Even I after I explained that it would be pretty silly to write a virus that would run on a 68030 chip. So here comes my question. He said that this virus is HTML based (which I don't believe Claris Emailer 1.x recognizes) and that it doesn't matter which OS, or mail, or browser you use, it can still get in. Is this in any way, shape, or form accurate? There's the question -- Anyhow, he recommended I update to the latest version of OS X, and run a virus check program on my machine with an up to date set of definitions. So, I downloaded the latest set for Virex, and checked, and aside from finding a few alias's with no original, my HD came up clean (duh). But I refuse to update this SE/30 to X, I like 7.1 too much :) Anyone have any thoughts on this, or is anyone having the same thing happening to them right now? Thanks, J White Buy American S.O.S.

Tim It's partitioned, one 4gb MacOS hfs partition, the rest NetBSD. The problem occurs even when I plug in a 9GB drive the scsi controller doesn't like.

Re: SE/30 RAM
snip Here's another oddity, when I boot the computer with the 16 MB and 1 MB SIMMS it takes about a minute to go from the happy mac screen to the welcome to macintosh screen. With any other combination of 1 MB and 4 MB SIMMS the time between these screens is about 2 -3 seconds. I think thats just the time it takes for the ram test. More ram, more time to verify it. As far as compatibility with 16MB simms, I can only find refrences that say 'some' 2MB and 16MB simms fail to work, no specs on what differentiates them. Does the SE/30 need parity ram?
