I assumed that Post Script support was universal, but I will definitely check. Any ideas about the queue name?

I would love to set up printing on my SE/30. Here's the setup I've been tinkering with: The Mac and the Wi-Fi printer -- a multifunction Brother (MFC prefix, but don't remember the exact model) -- are connected to the same home network (192.168.1.2 vs. 192.168.1.30). I have downloaded the Laser...

I am experimenting with different browsers for my SE/30, and in terms of the speed-compatibility tradeoff, I really like Netscape 4.08. However, it seems that none of the browsers is able to parse https, which makes it impossible to access Wikipedia. Are there any workarounds for this? I am...

Yup, it's the latest 68k version of iCab. It's sluggish, but it's able top render many modern websites. I can even log in to Facebook, and see my notifications. I don't know much about networking, but it was surprisingly easy to set it up. Almost plug & play. I installed the card and the...

And I'm online... which is exciting, but doesn't change the fact that my caps are leaking.

So, I ventured inside earlier today. It was something of a struggle; it probably took me 5 minutes to figure out how to detach the power cable from the mother board, and a further 5 to figure out how to get the memory modules out, but in the end... While tbe board was clean, it looks (to my...

Once I get my SE/30 recapped, I'd love to: Write crappy fiction on Word 5.1 without getting distracted by social media alerts, or tumbling down Wikipedia rabbit holes. I'd also like to complete at least one chapter of my dissertation on my SE/30 Play new interactive fiction, as well as vintage...

I will definitely have it recapped sooner rather than later. Except for the early-stage simasimac pattern at startup everything works, including the sound and external SCSI, so hopefully this means that the damage is not as extensive as to render it unsalvageable.

Thanks! I'm not sure if there is a battery there or not, but I guess I'll find out tonight. Speaking of which, would you recommend not using a battery because of the risk of corrosion? The only setting I have to change when I power up is the mouse speed (odd that the default is so slow).

Darn it. When I turned it on today, it displayed a pattern very similar to the picture depicting "early symptoms" of simasimac on Low End Mac: http://lowendmac.com/brierley/09pb/simasimac.html When I power cycled the SE/30 it booted up normally. I'll open it up and inspect/clean the motherboard...

I'll keep you updated about my progress getting it up and running on the information superhighway. From reading other threads, I understand that email is pretty much a dead cause nowadays, which is a pity. In 2011 I was able to log in to my Fastmail web account with no problems (reading and...

That's a great idea. I'll split the files in Basilisk and copy them to the floppy. If I remember correctly (it's been many years) BasiliskII has full support for physical (USB) floppy drives? It's an Asante SE/30 card with an RJ-45 connector. I'm a bit wary of installing it (I love tinkering...

Hello, A few years ago, living in Sweden, I was having fun with an SE/30: getting it online (through a SCSI > ethernet adapter) and playing online chess, hooking it up to an external "14 LCD monitor for 24-bit 640x480 browsing. I have since moved to the US, and recently the itch to play with...

I play chess online on the ICC server on my SE/30. The only problem with the client is that it assumes a better resolution; the board window doesn't quite fit; I cannot see how much time I have left, and if I collapse the board, black pieces on black squares disappear. That's a minor objection...

It's a Rasterops Colorboard 264 featuring 24 bit 640 x 480. It is fixed resolution, originally (I think) intended for the AppleColor High-Resolution RGB 13" Monitor: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA36778. Since the card does not support multisync, the LCD monitor needs to be connected through a...

Great guide, great job. Kudos! I have finally managed to get my trusty old SE/30 connected to the information superhighway at work, using a Dynalink SCSI ethernet converter. Unfortunately I have not been able to install OpenTransport so I had to make do with MacTCP - a less than ideal solution...

Thanks! 8-) Gee... I wonder why I didn't find that one. I was looking at the broken link at: http://www.macdrivermuseum.net/network.html (as opposed to .shtml) Now I just need to find a DB-50 to DB-25 SCSI cable and we'll be all set.

Does anyone have - or know where to find - the drivers for a Dayna SCSI/Link-T SCSI-Ethernet adapter? I think the installer is the same for all models; the file I am looking for is prob'ly called daynaport-installer-753 (or with a newer version number). Intel used to host the Dayna drivers, as...

Coda... Due to lack of space in my new flat, I brought the Mac to my office and hooked it up to a 21" LCD monitor. I have since spent countless hours replaying some of the point 'n click and strategy games I loved as a kid, which unfortunately defeated the rationale behind me bringing the...

Thanks for the reply, Bunsen! And sorry for not getting back until now. I knew from the data sheet that my TV supports ye olde Mac VGA specifications, but it took some tweaking with DIP switches on an adapter before I finally got it to work. But the result is great: vibrant True Color! This has...
