    Se/30 etherport se/30 troubleshooting

    Yes you're right. I need an adapter in order to convert from AUI to RJ45. Sorry, where can I find the open transport ? Is part of the 7.5.3 installation disks?

    Se/30 etherport se/30 troubleshooting

    the se/30 I have recently purchased has a net card, the etherport SE/30. The card is correctly recognized by MacEnvy. I have installed the only drivers I have found (Shiva Kinetiks Novell) that should work with this card. The system is OS 7.5.3 To connect the SE/30 via Ethernet I've...

    IIsi card in SE/30

    If I well understand the IIsi and SE/30 share the same PDS connector. The SE/30 need vertical cards. Now I saw that on eBay it's possible to find some kind of adapter (the posts refers to a SE/30 hack thread here on 68KMLA forum about a hack) that should permit to mount horizontal cards...

    Macintosh SE/30 without battery

    As many of you already suggested, I've removed the internal battery from my SE/30, in order to prevent future damages. What is really annoying now is that every time I power up the Macintosh, I have to re insert a lot of settings, for example mouse speed, sound volumes etc. Is there any way to...

    SE/30 screen wobbling

    On my second SE/30 I've noticed that sometimes the screen seems "wobbling" if I give a little bump with the hand on the side of case. Actually this problem almost disappear after a while. I guess if this could be a symptom of something more serious.

    Backup my SE/30 40mb HDD to... floppy?

    I see. Maybe it could be easier try to find a ribbon scsi 50pin cable with three connectors. Not common on eBay, but it seems easier (or at lease as hard as) than find a scsi zip and start to deal with another device.  Will it be sufficient to have the three connectors scsi 50pin cable (and...

    Backup my SE/30 40mb HDD to... floppy?

    I've recently purchased another SE/30 (with network card this time) and I would like to "move" the original 40mb HDD to the SCSI2SD card. Now it seems quite hard to find a proper 50pin 3connectors SCSI ribbon that would have allowed to install both the mechanical HDD and the SCSI2SD card. So my...

    se/30 SCSI2SD

    joethezombie actually even from the scsi2sd util I've noticed something strange. I've set up the 4gb card has 1 drive o 1.7gb but after I save to the card I see this messages in the log window: 10:06:25: Save Complete. 10:06:27: SCSI2SD Ready, firmware version 4.6 10:06:27: SD Capacity...

    se/30 SCSI2SD

    The biggest "warning" are the two "fail" reported by the scsi2sd monitor for SD and SCSI. did anyone tried to run the monitor on a working unit!?

    se/30 SCSI2SD

    I've tried two, but i know for sure they both work. I've been able to test them in my MacBook Pro without any problem, and one is the card I use in my raspberry pi. Also I've been told by Michael McMaster, that was very kind and replied to my mails, that the most concerning thing is the "FAIL"...

    My SE/30 Lives!

    I'm trying to find a network card for the SE/30 but I guess if it is worth the extra money to surf the web. I currently still have only 4mb of Ram (other 4 are on their journey from USA and should arrive this week). I'm afraid that at the very end it will turn out to be so painfully slow to make...

    se/30 SCSI2SD

    well, it turns out that the unit is probably defective. I've asked for a replacement unit. I hope it will arrive soon (well relatively soon... it could take two or three weeks to reach Italy).

    se/30 SCSI2SD

    How do you prepare the card for SCSI2SD ? Actually I've checked the log of scsi util and it reports 18:44:48: SCSI2SD Bootloader Ready 18:44:49: SCSI2SD Bootloader Ready 18:44:50: SCSI2SD Ready, firmware version 4.6 18:44:50: SD Capacity (512-byte sectors): 0 SD CSD Register...
