My SE/30 will now not recognise it's hard disc, nor any other
external hard disc. It starts up fine from system 7 Disk Tools
floppy.
Any ideas?

Do the utilities on Disk Tools 'see' the HD, even if it doesn't appear

Hi!
On Monday I head for San Francisco, followed by Yosemite, Pismo beach
(how appropriate), Big Sur, Half Moon Bay (and many points in between)
and home again. mostly in an RV.
So, I shan't be nannying this list for a couple of weeks, Is there
anyone who could keep an eye on it, please? We

In a word:No.
My love for the compacts stem from the design (footprint, design,
architecture), but has really grown into the more intangible. Their
support of their products, the free stuff (OSes, apps, etc.) and, not
in the very least, the great user base such as this list.
I just think there's something

Anybody know if I can use a 128/512k or Plus logic board with an SE analogue
board? How about a Classic?
The answer depends on how much work you intend to do. The signals are
electrically compatible, as it turns out.
However, it's not just plug and play. You have to
Lots of snipping here . . .
As I mentioned before, I got into Macs after OS X, then I got
interested in the OS's history and got an SE/30, with System 6 System
7 floppies, and who-knows-what on the HD (I forget).
OS 10.3 is just unbearable to me. With my Classic II running OS 7.1, I'm

Well, I'll tell you. The SE analogue board should fit in and attach exactly
the way a Plus board does. According to Larry Pina's book, the only
difference is the v-synch circuitry, which is improved over the Plus (puts
an IC on the board). In fact, that's the reason I even thought about the SE

Oh, yes, there's plenty of reasons. But, as I'm beginning to see,
Classic Mac OS curmudgeons are nearly worse than Windows zombies.
There'll be no convincing you no matter
I actually have one of the rare SE/30 specific Daystar PDS adapters.
But the price is probably too steep for you to contemplate.
Even rarer is the cpu-socket based Daystar.
You CAN use alternatives, such as the IIsi adapter or the custom
Stratos TwinSpark adapter from artmix.com in Japan.

I just think there's something glorious about a Plus with 1Mb and 2 720k
floppies doing GUIs _properly_
Except it didn't. Background windows couldn't update.
The Amiga 1000, with 256K or 512K and one 880K floppy, could do that.
Macintosh was amazingly good given the shortcomings of the 128K
I have an original IBM PS/2 Model 80-A21 on my LAN, as a server.

My point exactly. It's very cool, but it is just a box (despite the fact

The keyboard and mouse are elsewhere on the 128K Mac, too. :)
And, well, the all-in-one design is cute... I still have two of the original

There are specific cards for the SE to give ethernet.

Those statements seem to be contradictory. Did you mean to say, The
