Yea, I believe I used a cheap 2 wire phone cord once. You’re correct it doesn’t work.

I have run into issues where the telephone wire used to connect from one PhoneNet to another didn’t work. I think you need a 4 wire phone cord to do it. Also, both ends of the PhoneNet adapter chain need to have one of those terminators I believe. It

One thing you have to remember is that most vintage electronics are not necessarily plug n play. There are many different configurations and also software drivers needed for devices to be able to be used on various vintage systems. By plugging in a 40 year old external drive and hoping for the...

There could be a number of reasons why the disks don’t mount. There could be a SCSI ID conflict, or the drives aren’t formatted for Mac SE/30. Additionally, the volumes may be too large for a Mac SE/30. Use FWB Hard disk Tools or SCSI Probe to see if they are attached.

With the errors you're getting, you may want a fresh Mac OS install to work with. After you re-install the OS... This may sounds strange but in the Mac TCP Control Panel instead of using EtherTalk A, instead use Ethernet Built-in. You need to manually enter an IP address from your network...

If there is no connectivity coming from the router to your plus when you use the Network Control Panel to switch from LocalTalk to Ethernet Alternative, then it won’t be able to open the EtherTalk connection and it will go back to using LocalTalk. So make sure you’re getting connectivity from...

I suggest you continue with Mac IS 9.1 and solve the Keychain issue. I’m really not exactly sure the issue you’re having with Keychain but if it’s a saved network login then temporarily disable it and login manually. As far as 9.2.2 goes, It may solve your keychain problem but it might cause...

You're welcome. Now that they all have a wired connection to the same network you could use AppleTalk and TCP/IP. I owned a PM 6500 once and I believe Mac OS 9.1 was that last OS for it. Is there a reason you want Mac OS 9.2.2? 9.2.2 is mainly support for classic within Mac OS X and also...

I found this section in the manual for it. EtherTalk When configured to use “EtherTalk Alternative” in the Network Control Panel, AppleTalk traffic will be sent over the BlueSCSI network interface to enable AppleShare and other AppleTalk protocols over Wi-Fi. Since this traffic is sent as...

Nice! Keep posting on your finds. Enjoying it.

Also Youtube have extensive videos on the matter.

There are threads that get into how to soldier and what rig to buy. They recommend that you practice on a junk board first. Any questions about it are probably already answered there.

You can go to several sites to check the differences between Mac models. https://everymac.com is one of them. There you can even run a comparison between some. Just because it worked in the 1990's doesn't equal a good sign but if you must try it it out then go for it. People recommend on certain...

Without the battery the PRAM reset. Yes.

The reason the video didn’t come on until you removed the radius is because the radius was the main screen in the monitors control panel. Once it’s removed the main screen in monitors control panel reverts back to the internal screen.

At least if you do show a battery bombed board, you won’t be blamed for it. We know you just got all this stuff, so you’re off the hook. If you said you had this pile of computers for months and finally now just getting to the batteries, well then you’d never hear the end of it.

Keep posting your finds and questions, it’s a great thread watching someone go through a pile. Perhaps record a video while you go.

You may need your very own electrical power plant if you choose to turn them all on at once.

Somewhere in the list of things to do is back up of any of the working disk drives for irreplaceable software and drivers. Probably not a priority but for me it's one of the best parts with buying vintage stuff. You never know what you'll find. Maybe you'll find a map for a buried treasure.

Now that I got that to work I decided to disconnect it and close the ports on the router. Just wanted to try it. Too insecure to leave. I decided to use Apple Internet Router and the Wide Area Extension to tunnel AppleTalk over two subnets off from Mac OS X Server instead which is really useful...
