I have a SE/30 with an AUI transceiver. Of course the thing pokes out from the back quite a bit (like 9 cm) and I'd like to be able to keep the machine closer to the wall behind it. I figure there has to be AUI extension cords or adapters I can use to fix this issue but they're not exactly all...

Correct. The main issue with the drive was that it was totally seized.  I tore it apart according to guides, cleaned it and lubed it. Mechanically it started to work fine after that. But it refused to read disks. To the best of my knowledge it had that issue before. But when I tore it apart...

Don't mind the mess, the drive was completely seized and got it's fair share of white lithium grease.

If the top head of the head assembly doesn't spring down properly, does that mean something is bent out of shape or is it repairable? =)  

Can confirm, caps needs to be replaced even if they seem fine. I have two SE/30s. One was messed up due to an exploding battery and had to be sent to techknight and uniserver for repairs and recap, it's far more stable than my other one was. My other one isn't being used at all but I'm...

Thanks! Could this be the book? http://www.wiley.com/legacy/compbooks/catalog/19563-4.htm If so it seems like the companion CD is something called "BMUG'S CD-ROM" Which led me here: https://archive.org/details/cdrom-bmug-pdrom-v2 That CD seems to be public domain (totally legal to download...

Wow, thank you! I downloaded them all and just managed to unpack them, many of them seems to display just fine on the B&W screen =)

I fairly recently restored my fathers old SE/30 thanks to uniserver and techknight, however the harddrive had failed quite brutally mechanically. Software can always be replaced however but some things wasn't as easy to find. He had loads of custom folder/app icons that we used (most of 'em...

Can you see the cards MAC address in the TCPIP control panel?  I recently had to learn how to get a Daynaport E/30 to work in my SE/30 and got confused by the hardware diagnostics throwing errors at me, an error to be ignored. However it has issues negotiating with network hardware. Luckily a...

Yup, that's the link I got through PM =)

I got a tip through PM (to avoid issues with possibly linking to abandonware). I've confirmed that the game is "Beast 1.0", possibly developed by a guy names "Mike Vande Ven Jr."! The DOS game above is indeed a clone, I made one myself back in the day. I wonder if I still have the Bortal...

We had this game on my fathers computer back in the day. As far as we both can remember it was named "Beast". The mechanics were simple. You moved your character around in four directions and you could blocks around to contain these monsters that were chasing you. The goal was to contain each...

Better update here as well. The "Bad Adress" error shown above is to be ignored. I've got everything set up and working now. Using OpenTransport, automatic DHCP lease and even automounting an AppleShare from my Raspberry running netatalk.  Using the 7.7.2 driver with System 7.5.5. Running the...

Cheers, thanks. No luck though. Not sure if incompetence or hardware issues. Installed both versions and ran the diagnostics with a "bad address" error as a result =/  

Does anyone know where I can get these? Or are they not even needed? I'm running a SE/30 machine with System 7.5.5. To be perfectly honest I haven't tested yet. I got the ethernet adapter from uni yesterday and just barely had the time to install it but I plan to test it after work today but I...

I can't speak for the SE machine but I do have a SE/30 with a 8GB SCSI drive plucked from an old server. The drive has a SCA connector so I have to use a SCA to HD50 adapter. SCSI is very good at being backwards compatible, as long as you make sure to have proper termination (I got an adapter...

Elfen is correct. I sent my board from Sweden. It's more expensive to ship from SE->US than the other way around though. Rarely takes more than 5 days for stuff to arrive, all in all it took me 4 weeks from sending it to getting it back =) My board, in my fathers SE/30 from my childhood, was...

I must be getting blind, I can't find that link. But at that price it's certainly worth getting a second one to connect internally in my retro pc =)   It's the machine I use to transfer files to my SE/30. I've got an internal ZIP in the PC and MacDrive Pro and I've got a SCSI ZIP on my Mac.

Speedtools did the trick! Cheers! =D I'll check out CD-Sunrise as well =)

Unfortunately that still seems to be for sale, and at $49.95 no less. I'd rather go the free route, if possible =)
