I find it amazing that Gamba's webpage is still being hosted.

Try your SE/30's floppy drive in your SE. Also thanks BGE for the confirmation!

I was referring to the actual drives themselves, not in using high density media as double density media

I am probably recalling wrong, but  I seem to recall using a high density drive on a Apple IIgs just fine (IIgs only uses GCR 800K disks). It *might* be worth a shot then to hook up your HD drive to your DD SE.

Sweet you have one of those wheel switches, those are fantastic! I would start with 640x480 @ 67Hz. That should be like mac 13 or something on your adaptor. As trash pointed out the KDS RAD-5 should work just fine. I have a Dell ultrasharp 2007FP that I use with my old macs, it has 1600x1200...

I remember 3 years ago buying 200 brand new double density (720/800K) floppy disks for like $20 total. They were sold in packs of 50 for $5, and I bought four packs. Now I can only dream about finding them for 0.50/piece

ATA was on the Quadra 630 board too, and is right on! The performance can give SCSI a run for it's money (SCSI as implemented by Apple at least, we're not going to talk about the FWB Jackhammer 16-bit wide SCSI card [;)] ]'>). Be thankful for the fact that you can toss in any old ATA HDD...

630 *does* have hardware handshaking, I've tried it myself!

It's risky enough traveling with a compact, and with you traveling internationally... yikes! The best way might be a hard-sided container, with *lots* of padding inside for your CC. Still, whatever you do is going to be quite bulky, and that's a pretty big thing to have to worry about. Carry-on...

The only difference between the real Quadra 630, and the performa and LC models with the 68LC040 CPU is just the CPU, they both have the same serial hardware. Yes, the serial hardware works well on the Quarda 630. Not completely identical, there are a few differences.

I guess I don't get to build my Apple II Z80 co processor card now, lol.

BOMARC's are much easier to read than Apple's engineering release.

It is not a huge surprise that there are businesses that use dot-matrix printing technology. It's incredibly reliable, and extremely cheap (to print). There are also some environments that lead to other print technologies not being a very good fit, such as a kitchen printer, where the heat from...
