Before OS X, you could place a specially formatted file named StartupScreen in the System Folder (not in any subfolder). But there were at least 2 formats -- the original blackwhite uncompressed format and a color version. I use DeBabelizer to create the black and white ones suitable for a Plus,

Dual Purpose, video/ethernet, SE30

2003-02-05 Thread Roman Tarnovetsky
Hello Group, I followed this topic with interest a few weeks ago but am still hazy on whether or not such a card exists for the PDS slot of a SE/30. Is the Asante MacCon a dual purpose card? If not, what is the hardware hack to accomodate ethernet and an extra external monitor for the SE/30?

SE30 compatible with external Seagate ST410800N ?

I've been fiddling with jumpers all night and have yet to get my SE/30 to see an external Seagate Elite ST410800N 9GB drive. I have it connected to the SE/30 through a cable which has an 50 pin internal connector (on the se/30 mobo) and an external HD50 plug hanging out of the back of the machine.
