    Fun with remote management: Controlling SE/30 from macOS Sierra

    This will be old hat for many of you, but someone else who's getting into the hobby might find it useful. I decided to see if I could remotely access my SE/30 from my primary machine, fully expecting that if I got it to work, it would be completely unusable. It ended up working really well...
