yeah, it's an old drive alright, but when you're in a pinch... i use these techniques to recover data from dead ide and scsi drives all the time. it goes without saying that you should put critical data on any old drive, let alone one that has needed any kind of repair, especially unorthodox repair.
Should not?
in any case, i've already made an image of the entire drive using linux on my pc (gasp!). yes, i'm a pc tech, but don't hold that against me. i'm looking forward to learning macs from the se up.
Don't apoligize, there are a few of us. Have you checked out vmac and basilisk for either nix or doze? it can make a useful tool for use with compact macs
i have some other SCSI drives, but i can't get them to work. i must admit, i'm totally new to macs. this se/30 is my first and only mac. i guess macs require special 'mac scsi' drives? is there any way to get regular scsi drives to work with an se/30? i have a 1GB, a 2.2GB, and a 4GB. although these all work on my pc (gasp again!) and its aha1542 scsi card, it's just not seen by the se/30. is there a solution?

Vaild until the end of this month after which it should revert back to http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 or the "home page of Gamba" :) a rather useful, albeit hard to navigate, site.
Check out Apple HDSC Setup 7.3.5 and I guess I should mention Lido, thou I've never needed it, as well as some others. If apple hard their way you would only be able to use apple branded drives which is possibly the problem your having at the moment. Thankfully its not the case with the right formatting tool.
Another solution is to dedicate the scsi hdd on the pc to mac emulation but I'm going a tad OT for this list, still its a faster solution than a compact mac.
