Re: SE/30

[Susan Platter]

	I wanted to buy a few of these cards, to install one and keep spares 
but, being in the United Kingdom, the costs of simply converting the 
money and sending it, plus shipping, are ridiculous. My SE/30 was free, 
no longer wanted by University College London, the screen was a single 
line down the middle and there was no keyboard. It now works and a 
friend has given us a keyboard, but we should like to add it to our 
home network, which is part wired, part wireless.
	We had an SE, which we bought new and sold a few years ago, and I have 
always regretted parting with it.

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.
