    Aiii. Ugly paint!

    Yes i plastic wrapped all mine, just painted the hair bleach 40% On, wrapped it and turned it every 30 minutes in the garden. Re applied if it had dried out and left outside between 3-6 hours depending on the sun (I'm in the uk so not much of that lol) looks great still after a few years.

    A few Mac SE/30 related questions

    I’ll add a few comments too although similar to some others. 1.) mine also has a bit blueish tint but i really like the display, the blacks are very black and the cool tints makes it easy to work on for hours. 2.) mine came with 7.1 but i soon upgraded it to 7.5.5 as the later version was just...

    Help setting up Ethernet with an SE/30

    I believe some of the cards did have the RJ45 part as an optional extra as it wasn’t a standard back then so maybe you have one of those.  Mine doesn’t even have an RJ45 connector I needed to use a twisted pair transceiver to convert the 15 pin connector to RJ45. Beyond that it is only half...

    RasterOps Clear Vue GS30 for me SE/30 died...any ideas why?

    Lol same I’m using zoom for work standups and meetings. Went out food shopping today first time in a week and it was weird to be honest and very quiet, everyone 2 metres apart and only a handful of people allowed in. Hopefully means more time on my hobbie machines and some gardening too  :)

    RasterOps Clear Vue GS30 for me SE/30 died...any ideas why?

    I use photoshop 4 on my se/30 as i have the usual 128mb, 24 rom and quicker hard drive etc but it really is pretty useless on that tiny black and white screen but funny trying so yes your duel screen and 256 grey scale is a huge leap up from standard so mighty impressive to me.  We’re in...

    i have an ethernet card too. I would love an accelerator as well. Not heard about the socketed powercache. Interesting  i would be happy with 33mhz upgrade

    In the picture the diimo has a pass though which looks useful for popping 2 cards in.  thats the only problem with the se/30’s 1 slot configuration.  Seems like you’ve done an amazing job.

    RasterOps Clear Vue GS30 for me SE/30 died...any ideas why?

    That is a  real nice setup, i like doing desk top publishing on my SE/30 (because i can) and that real estate would make photoshop so much easier. I’ll look out for one of those. :)

    Is it possible to download software and transfer it to a floppy disk via USB Floppy Drive from a 2018 MacBook Pro?

    It’s a while since i setup my network but doesn’t half duplexing come into it somewhere for transferring files to an older mac or is that just for getting them online? I’m sure i had issues when getting my se/30 networked to my other machines as i needed an (auto switching) half duplexing switch...

    This is why a cheap bridge computer and zip drive is my way.  $100 for both is the way you go :) and appletalk
