    SE/30 accelerators

    It's 32k, which I believe is the default value? The only thing I normally change on the Memory control panel is 32-Bit Addressing.

    SE/30 accelerators

    That surprised me too. No, it's a 1 GB Seagate.

    SE/30 accelerators

    Yes. I found a picture of my old setup back in Sweden. It's a big mess of wires. ;D

    SE/30 accelerators

    I borrowed a SCSI-Ethernet adapter from a friend in Sweden a few years ago, which reminds me that I should return it to its rightful owner when I visit this Summer. Daynaport, I think. I would guess that it was intended for the early PowerBooks, based on the design language alone. In any...

    SE/30 accelerators

    Thank you! I now have a computer ready for "the Net Age," as MicroMac put in on their web site. Seriously, though, it makes a huge difference when browsing the web. BadGoldEagle, how's the Diimo-Pivot Display combo working out for you? I have an ethernet card as my second card, but I wouldn't...

    SE/30 accelerators

    Maybe that was a slight exaggeration on my part. In some CPU tests, it scores higher than the Quadra 605 benchmark, but on average, it's 91% as fast.

    SE/30 accelerators

    I got mine to work too. I did have to install the Diimo control panel (I always assumed that it would be plug and play) but with everything up and running, the speed difference is huge -- especially when it comes to activities that are heavy on the CPU but less so on the disk. According to...

    SE/30 accelerators

    I found a MicroMac 68030 50 MHz, and hopefully I'll get around to installing it and the adapter in my SE/30 this week. One question: I know that there is software for the card (control panel, drivers?) but is that necessary for it to function? Very much looking forward to the speed boost...

    ​Recommend a browser to me (Color Classic II)​

    Yes, that's what I do. I use Fetch, but you might be able to connect to the FTP server with Netscape if you don't want to use a dedicated client.

    ​Recommend a browser to me (Color Classic II)​

    You can run Netscape 4.08, but it is rather slow and comes with a lot of bloatware. If you want to download a browser straight from your Color Classic, I am sure this page will work in older browsers: http://main.system7today.com/otherbrowsers.html As to Macintosh Garden, I don't think you can...

    SE/30, SCSI2SD and ROM-inator II

    If you already have 7.5.5 and Mode32 installed, do you still need to do a clean install after installing the ROM-inator, or can you boot from the ROM disk and patch your system?

    web sites your 68K Mac can still surf (OS 6 to OS 7)

    Google works just fine on my SE/30 with Netscape 4.08 (and, I believe, earlier versions). I was also able to log in to Facebook and check notifications, though I couldn't get to the feed. Also, many newspapers work just fine, though you might have to do a fair bit of scrolling because of the...

    SE/30 accelerators

    There were two of them on eBay a few weeks ago: one as a standalone card (sold for $170 I believe) and another installed in an SE/30 that also came with an ethernet card -- not to mention a nifty Diimo sticker. I belive that one sold for around $300. :) Well, if anyone has a Diimo or Daystar...

    SE/30 accelerators

    It sure is. I used to own a RasterOps ColorBoard 264, but I've come to appreciate the compactness of the SE/30, which is why I prefer under-the-hood mods to, say, an LCD monitor.

    I couldn't agree more. The SE/30 is a thing of beauty. Guess who I'll be rooting for... :)

    SE/30 accelerators

    I'm thinking of boosting my SE/30 with an accelerator. That is, if I can find one for a reasonable price (which means that eBay is pretty much out of the questions). The Diimo and the Daystar cards seem to be the main options -- at least in terms of availability. As I understand it, the Diimo...

    Modern printer, old Mac?

    Success! So, I was able to print by: 1. Saving a document as PostScript on my Mac 2. Open the PS file, copy all text. 3. Open a connection to Port 9100 4. Paste the text. The printout looks great, including graphics and text formatting, but there must be a better way. :)   Any suggestions?

    Modern printer, old Mac?

    Thanks for looking into it! How do I configure lpr/raw printing in the Desktop Printer Utility, or do I neee a third-party utility?

    Modern printer, old Mac?

    It's a Brother MFC-8710DW, which supports PostScript (and LPR/LPD) according to the manual, which also lists all predefined services running on the server. I take it this would be the same as the Queue I enter in the Utility? "BINARY_1" didn't work, but I'll try "BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx_AT" (x = MAC...
