Just a tip: You totally can re-partition a drive while keeping the data... not sure why anyone said otherwise. Boot Linux up on a livecd with the hfsprogs package and GParted. Piece of cake. At worst you have sticky partition header positioning, which can be fixed by imaging.

I'd assume, being UNIX, that you could make a bash droplet. No? Perhaps something that could be launched by keystroke?

The SE/30 display only has one color, white. The display pixels have two states: illuminated and not illuminated, which means it is a "real" monochrome screen.

Be careful with that cap, improperly discharging the CRT could cause some damage (or so I've heard). I wouldn't say discharging the CRT is required though, since you're putting it right back in after you're done.

I don't have an answer, but rather a question... I could have sworn the SE was the least popular Compact Mac, but from what I can tell it seems to be the most popular? Was I wrong? If so, how the heck did I think that in the first place?

Considering I do not use any Mac OS past 9, and don't own an iPhone, I can't use MacTracker. I'm sure this is the case for others as well. Instead, I use http://www.everymac.com/ which is a far more accessible source of information.

A gaming console. (The Pippin is one)

Try white distilled vinegar or denatured alcohol on a Q-Tip?

The Wallstreet is a formidable, sleek design. I'll never not be impressed by it... but that condition is stunning. Take good care of it!

Well alrighty then. Anybody know of standalone PATA RAID hardware that supports PIO? I know there's internal expansion cards out there, but what about something that operates by itself in a box (save for plugging into an ATA socket for data)?

I think CF is a whole other can of worms, but it's related to a bigger problem with the onboard ATA controller. It's very likely the only way to get 2 PATA drives on the Q630 ATA bus is with separate RAID controller hardware, which would trick the 630's ATA controller into seeing only one drive...

Pull the logic board out the back and take some photos for us!

A solder reflow station (hot air gun) would work wonders for apm's suggestion. Costs around $50 and would be easier than using just a soldering iron.

The Quadra/Performa 630 uses PATA... With a modified cable, is it capable of supporting two drives? (Master & Slave) From what I've seen, probably not, but... Has anyone actually tried this?

What is "properly networked"? Assuming you mean LAN-wise, it was properly networked. The two servers in the "Servers" folder just didn't exist.

I only had 2 servers. Not exactly "full", so I'm guessing it was just trying to mount them. Also, I had tried deleting the prep file previously, which didn't do anything.

Whoops! I was silly and forgot it was 1.25Ghz.  :p   Ahh, I found it. The "Servers" folder. Deleting everything in there has alleviated the delay.

I always knew Appleshare made the startup process a little longer, but how long is "normal"? On a semi-fresh install of OS 9.2.2 on a 1.6Ghz MDD, it's freakishly long (over 2 minutes)... Any reason? I heard somewhere it could be caused by Appleshare looking to mount non-existent shares (that...

Sounds like Starflight!

When I removed mine, I used a pair of small needle nose pliers to flex the pins inward before pulling. I'm guessing you skipped that part :p
