SE/30

[Mike Piatek-Jimenez]

Since people have been talking about SE/30s, I thought I would mention 
that SmallDog Electronics is selling a bunch of SE/30 Ethernet cards 
for $1.  They are the Asante ethernet cards that I believe use the PDS 
slot, and they are brand new with a 90 day warrantee.  I ordered a 
couple of them just a few days ago, and they should come in on Friday.

I also thought I would mention where I picked up my SE/30, for those 
who are looking to buy old Macs.  Just a couple of years ago I found it 
at a very unlikely place, a church rummage sale.  They were selling it 
for $5, and it was in perfect working condition (screen was bright, the 
disk still worked, clean overall).  Since then, the 80mb hard drive in 
it died, but that was quickly fixed by plugging in an external SCSI 
disk.  It will be nice to finally get it on the network this weekend. 
:-)  Anyway, I think rummage sales for charities/churches are great 
places to find older Macs.  I've also bought a PowerMac 4400/200 for 
$20 (now using it as a Linux server), and saw a couple of LC's, IIsi's, 
etc.  Usually, if someone donates a computer to sell, it will probably 
be in decent working condition.
