DOh... thought I mentioned that in my original post, but apparently I was mistaken. yes I did try adjusting both brightness controls (both the one at the front of the computer, as well as the pot on the analog board). No effect.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll check that out.
By "video board" do you mean the board that connects to the neck of the CRT? If so, then no, I have not swapped the neck board, it is the one that originally came with the SE/30.

- SE/30 logic + analog boards fully recapped
- I hear a startup chime, but don't see any video
- there IS neck glow
- in addition to recapping the analog board, I also tried replacing both of the ICs (SN74LS38N and TDA1170N), still no...
Thanks :) I was trying to find a way of doing this with the minimal amount of external tools (there are a few xml parsers I could have used) and I was able to come up with a kinda hacky (but it works ;-) ) way of doing it completely within bash.
Recently I finally finished restoring my beloved SE/30. I'm a major Unix geek, and I have dreamed of being able to run A/UX on one of my machines. Unfortunately, during its heyday, it was way beyond my starving-student budget. Recently I found the A/UX SCSI2SD easy install and wanted to give it...
Funny you should mention this... I wondered the exact same thing recently, and after digging into the SCSI2SD format, came up with a rather hacky (but it works ;-) ) script to do exactly that. Was just about to post an announcement about it here in fact. :) https://github.com/dburr/scsi2sd_to_hda
