Heh. All this talk has gotten me to play with my IIc. I won't vote on what is the best II, as I only have experience with the IIc, but I will say it is a very nice computer to use, and it has everything you need built in. The only thing I wish it had was an audio in so I could use that online...

There are maccaps listings for recapping on eBay, which should give you an idea on what her charges.

The Rominator II is plug and play. You pop out the SE/30 rom and pop in the replacement.

I recently picked up a PB Wallstreet II (System 9.2.2) to use as a bridge computer with my SE/30, SE, and Classic II (all System 7.0.1). When I hook up the PB to my AppleTalk network, the PB can see and mount the compact macs with no problems. I can move files back and forth from the PB, access...

Aftermarket is fine - they just have to work! That one would be great except they don't ship to Canada. I might end up contacting some of the ebay sellers and see if they will make an exception on the shipping.

I recently picked up an almost mint PB Wallstreet PDQ running System 9.2 to use as a bridge computer with my SE/30, SE, and Classic II. It works perfectly except for dead PRAM and main batteries. I have a bunch of old WiFi PCMCIA cards around the house, including a Cisco 350, so I hope to find...

You can even use the online Apple ][ Game Server to stream right to your Apple ][ http://asciiexpress.net/gameserver/

I'm starting to think that Kamloops is magic-land for macs. They have giant mountains of them everywhere. People have to shovel ADB peripherals and 50-pin SCSI hard drives out of the way to get to work. SE/30's are used as doorstops and landfill.  ;) Good deal for the haul if you live...

Well, that would explain why my SE/30 only reports 28 mb RAM when 32 mb is installed. This has been bugging me for a while now. I wondered if it was a bad simm, but swapping each in turn with a known good simm didn't help, and the computer functioned fine. Would a 32-bit clean ROM fix this?

How to disassemble a 512k: http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/legacy/macintosh_se.30.pdf

I have a combo scsi/parallel zip drive, and it uses the same cable. Just plug it into the scsi or parallel port of whatever machine you want to use. 

My solution was to network my SE/30 to an SE with AppleTalk PhoneNet and access the HD20 attached to the SE.  

As a solution to not being able to use my floppyemu in HD20 mode to transfer large files and whatnot from my modern PC to my SE/30, I picked up a bunch of PhoneNet AppleTalk adaptors and networked my SE/30, SE, and Classic II together. I connected the floppyemu to the SE, and it works great! Now...

Buy a roll of foil duct tape (the real stuff, not "duck" tape) and cut out your own. I find foil tape useful for all sorts of things.

I have an SE/30 and a Classic II. I have been very happy with my (recapped) SE/30 and consider it the best of the two, but dammit if this thread didn't make me want to get an SE as well.  So I bought one of someone local and I'm off to pick one up after work today. $50 got me a running SE 1/20...

If you like Moria, there is a version of Angband - basically Moria on steroids - that will run on 68k Macs as well. Nethack 3.3.1 is supposed to be the last version that is 68k compatible. I've been meaning to try it out. I find Nethack more challenging then Moria - a lot more quick deaths. 

Moria is A rogue like predecessor of Nethack. Fun stuff! Just be prepared to die often.

I write and play games on my SE/30 almost daily. Right now I've been playing a lot of Moria.

thanks! That did the trick!

Ugh.I'm having a major brain fart. At some point in the last year, I changed the hard drive icon on my SE/30 (System 7.1, update 3) and now I can't remember how I did it. It may have been when I set up my SCSI2SD. Anyone know how to do this? I farted around on the thing for well over an hour...
