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

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

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

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

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

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

external SCSI drive, cont.

Haven't gotten the digest yet, but to clear up a few things: * Yes, I'm turning on the drive before the Mac. * I've been using SCSI ID 3 or 4. * The OS is System 7.1. * It doesn't mount on the Desktop, nor is it visible to SCSIProbe or Mt Everything. I think I have a terminator around somewhere,

Re: 10base2 to 10baseT?

Last summer, my office was throwing out a bunch of old stuff in anticipation of a move. I picked up a bunch of 10b2 cabling, couplers, and quite a few converters (between 10b2, 10b5, and 10bT in just about every combination). I don't have them anymore, but I know these things exist. I don't

SE vs SE/30

Expansion cards are not interchangeable between these. The SE/30 and the IIsi are the only machines with that particular slot. They can share many (but not all) cards. Tim -- Tim Larson Info. Services - Internal Medicine Clinical Systems, Mayo Clinic, Rochester He is no

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

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

Unix CDs

which vendor had that disk and did they have the latest version 1.6? netbsd.org list many, many vendors, many of whom haven't kept their sites current. thanks. Bob Nestor (Bob's Budget CD's). Very courteous, very prompt. I mailed my check Wednesday, he'd mailed the CD Saturday, and I got it

adjusting video

What type/size screwdrivers will I need to adjust the video on my SE/30? One looks like a tiny straight slot, the other is maybe a tiny Allen head? It is hard to tell in those tiny holes. Thanks, Tim -- Tim Larson Info. Services - Internal Medicine Clinical Systems,

avoid Linksys router?

Mr. Pickle... Why the recent advice to avoid Linksys routers? About a month ago I was seriously looking at networking my home and getting DSL, and Linksys was generally recommended positively. I found one (the 4-port router/switch) that had been discounted at the store, so I bought it, though
