Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my collection of Mac SE/30's. I currently
have 5 of these little gems
which I've upgraded to 128 meg / 2 gig 7200 RPM drives. Is there an
economical way of boosting
the speed? I've looked at the DiiMO 030 and cache options from Micromac
but they seem pretty
pricey. Is there a cheaper option available? Anyway of using cheaper IIsi
options for the PDS slot?
I'm running Mac OS 7.5 with Asante external SCSI adapters with
OpenTransport 1.1.2 with Netscape
3.01 Gold. I found Web browsing is extremely slow, is there another good
browser out there that
can handle Java and newer web sites fairly well?
Also is there a good FTP server for older macs? The one that was popular
doesn't seem to be
available on the net anymore (older NetPresenz demo).
Lastly, I've cobbled together a few external CD rom drives for these
machines, most are from 1x-4x
SCSI drives non-Apple. I've been using the Sunrise extension to enable
them, however I can
only read CD's that I've burned in the native Mac HFS ? format using Toast
4.1 on my Powermac.
When I burn an ISO disc on my PC it fails to mount on the SE/30's. I
purchased CD-Autocache from
OWC but it gives me an exception on startup, although it works fine my
Quadra 605. I've also
tried the resedit hack for the Apple CD-ROM extension but it doesn't work
for these older drives.
Is there another inexpensive way of mounting ISO CD's on an older mac? I've
also tried the Joliet
extensions but that did not help. The ISO discs were created with Nero on
the PC.
Thanks,
-Mike
