Re: Shiny new Mac SE/30

[Eddie]

I had the same situation with an SE (not SE/30, Small dog fixed that  
one with a $1 10BT NIC card). I bought an EMAC 10B2/AUI NIC on ebay for  
$20.70 (including shipping) It included driver and manual.

Next I bought a pair of 10BT hubs on eBay for $16.45 (including  
shipping). One 4 port and the other is an 8 port with one 10B2 port.  
Both came with wall-warts for power.

Also got a HP JetDirect Ex Plus for $6.50 (including shipping) that  
works fine. All that was lacking was a wall-wart and I happened to have  
one with the right output and connector gathering dust in a closet.

After getting it all plugged in I found an EMAC 10BT NIC card for the  
SE on ebay for $14.99 (yup including shipping). It included the manual  
and driver disk. Worked perfectly.

Pretty good deals can be had if you dig. I have to quit buying old  
Mac's. My desk is full above and below.

Hello Tarus,

  TB> An easier solution would be to look for an old 10BaseT hub with
a 10Base2 port on it. Then you just connect the thin-net cable
to the hub, and RJ-45 to the rest of your network.
If David's 10base2 network card features an AUI port, another option
might be to find a 10baseT transceiver (which may be less expensive
than a hub).  Your approach is more expandable though, and would let
him add a whole fleet of 10base2 equipped SE/30s!  :-)
