Re: 9gb or bigger ticks off e-net
I've got a 9GB Seagate in my SE/30, as well as an Asante NIC. It's spent the last several days downloading and compiling software under NetBSD. Your problem could be something MacOS specific though. Is your drive partitioned, or one big 9GB chunk? I've never heard of this particular problem before, but given the number of SE/30's that have 9GB drives installed, that's not surprising.

Re: IIsi DiiMO in a SE/30
The SE/30 needs an adapter, too. If you remove the floppy drive and snip up the metal frame a bit you can make it work with the IIsi adapter. Micromac tech support suggests not using the IIsi version in the SE/30 at all. But that's what they would suggest to sell more, of course. I think I could make it work with the adapter, too. But I've also got an ethernet card in it that I need to keep. I can't think of a way to get them both in without soldering like Gamba has done in his SE/30cgs example.

Re: concerns about dual HDs in SE/30
While I out of anyone can certainly understand wanting to do something just for the sake of doing it...why do so many people insist on putting a second hard drive IN an SE/30 when there is a perfectly good SCSI port on the back of the unit that you can use to attach an external scsi box to? Is it a shortage of available electrical outlets, lack of cabling or what? Seems that the money and effort spent hacking something together out of plumbers strap and figuring out how to mount things would be better spent on some other endeavor... Because the neat thing about the old compact Macs is their luggability. I can throw the keyboard and mouse in my shoulder bag, pick up the Mac, and away I go with no muss or fuss. Extra cases and cables is just a clutter. :) The original iMacs came close to the ideal, but were over twice as heavy. BTW, I _did_ manage to squeeze everything in, barely, about the way I envisioned it. I shaved an eraser to make rubber feet for the lower drive, and electrical tape made a sling for the upper drive. I think the worst part was that my SCSI ribbons both had to make half twists. I took several pictures of the process, which hopefully I'll scan and post someday. After this, I don't think I'll ever take this Mac apart EVER again. :) Unless I manage to get a good deal on one of those socketed Daystar accelerators... ;) Tim -- Tim Larson OL 4-131-2 Info.

30pin RAM
I have 8 1MB sticks, 2 matched sets of 4. I was about to throw them out or make them into keychains or something since no one on the swap list wanted them. They came from SE/30's and IIci's so I'm sure they are fast enough for your SE. If you want I can figure out how much shipping would be and send them to you.

Re: SE/30 PowerPC Upgrade
Is there an _economic_ way? Good question! ;-) How about... Install IIsi adapter to use IIci cache cards. Install necessary pass-through/angle adapters to make IIci cache slot vertical. Install Turbo 601 in your new vertical IIci cache slot inside your SE/30. It should work, though I would imagine power and heat considerations might necessitate a bit of extra cooling and possibly a PSU upgrade. Is this theoretical, pickle, or do you know someone that's actually done it? (Stuart and gamba come to mind, but as Stuart is the one asking I'm guessing that's a no. :) Would the Turbo 601 physically fit the case assuming you got all the adaptors and stuff you needed? I have recently been thinking it odd that there is a PPC upgrade for the IIci but none for the most classic Mac form factor. (Been making me kind of grumpy.) Anybody have specs on how much juice the Turbo 601 is gonna draw, and what PSU might fill that need? Tim -- Tim Larson Info.

external SCSI drive
I've been trying to reformat an external drive to use as a master for several non-networked low-end Macs I maintain. I hooked it up to my SE/30 because it is the most convenient to work with, but it doesn't see the HD. I thought maybe the HD was bad, so I opened the case and put in a different one, but it still doesn't work. The drive powers on and spins up, but the SE/30 can't see it. Is there something I need to do on the Mac to get the external SCSI to work? It's been a while since I've done any serious work with compacts, but I thought SCSI has always been plug-n-play on the Mac. Thanks in advance, Tim -- Tim Larson Info.

Re: SCSI woes for Woodstock
Any SCSI experts out there? So far I've gotten a couple small leads that I need to look for a non-Apple driver for non-Apple drives. Trying to find these on the web sites of the CD-ROM vendors hasn't turned up much. I found one place that wanted payment for a license to their product, but I'm not really interested in that for what will probably be a one time use. (This is an SE/30, c'mon, I don't want to spend a lot of money on it.) If anybody knows where a universal CD-ROM extension can be found, maybe online, maybe included with other software I could find cheap, please let me know. Or maybe I'll end up yanking the mobo out so I can hook a spare Apple internal CD-ROM to Woodstock's internal SCSI chain. :P Tim -- Tim Larson Info.

SCSI woes for Woodstock
Hi gang... Last night I was trying to connect an external SCSI CD-ROM to my SE/30 (Woodstock). I spent about 4 hours on this and never got it to work. I actually tried 3 devices: a CD-RW, a CD-R, and a CD-ROM. I didn't think just changing the device number would matter (1-6 are available of course) but I tried that too, but no dice. I thought maybe the cable was bad, but changing that didn't help. I tried with a terminator on, and with it off. Then I looked online and found Mt. Everything and 4 versions of SCSI Probe. The SP 5.x doesn't work with the old SCSI Manager, but ME and the 2 SP 4.x versions could both see the CD devices. However none could force the CD to mount. (ME won't force CD's to mount, SP contacted the device and I heard disk activity but it didn't mount.) I also tried connecting the drives to my PCP 210 (Charlie Brown) but they didn't show up there either. I highly doubt all 3 of my CD drives are dead. Any help here? PLEASE? Woodstock has a clean system 7.1 install, plus Decor and Mode 32. (Charlie Brown has System 7.6.) Thanks in advance!!! Tim -- Tim Larson Info.

And then there was the time my roommate and I helped a classmate upgrade his compact from system 4 something to the newest, 6.0.8. We found no less than 12 System Folders on his drive. We cleared out all the clutter and gave him a few goodies like Eyeballs and a screensaver. He went home, turned all the options on the screensaver to impress his wife with the new toy, and promptly locked the computer up when it couldn't handle animating all those things.

LC 475 as firewall, etc
sp00ky said, Cayenne's comments almost tempt me to try loading GNU/Linux onto my LC 475. Unless you really prefer your *nix to be Linux for some reason, use NetBSD on 68k machines. Version 1.6 was supposed to be out last week, but evidently it's still in beta. 1.5.2 is very stable though from what I've read. I've got enough other projects right now, so I can wait for 1.6 before trying it on my SE/30. You probably want a full '040 too, because BSD likes having that math processor.
