Thank you. it makes much more sense to me now whats going on, I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me

so im guessing then that if the new font manger isnt detected by whatever the pre system 6 gestalt equivelant is, it falls back to the old version and loads ID0 font from the system file?

i guess my memory is a fair bit off here, thanks for clarifying though, as its had me quite interested since i saw this question posted.. i do wonder whats going on with the system disk though, specifically how it loads that 'Cartoon' font on the mac 128k but loads chicago on the mac plus...

it looks a bit like the old Xerox smalltalk script font.. im not sure when apple changed over to Chicago but early prototype macs used that smalltalk font and im pretty sure it was when then switched to a 128kb ROM in the mac 512 (or maybe the 512ke ??) and rewrote the font manger and updated...

forgot to mention too that the se/30 really needs an internal scsi drive to be properly terminated and if you have an external scsi chain make sure the last psychical device is terminated too, otherwise you will get bus errors. system 7.5.x is much more tightly controlled then 7.0.1 was with the...

try booting off a system 7.0.1 install or floppy disc id be interested to see if if boots up or fails differently. for some reason the 53C80 is coming to my mind as a possible culprit

personally the se/30 is my favorite mac from the whole 68k era, probably why i have more then one of them.. im sure most of the people on here who have an se/30 don't use it for its raw performance but do so because of nostalgia, or maybe it was the machine they dreamed of owning back in that...

at the very least some verbose feedback during compile to let the user know. im not really sure how to raise a ticket in github, but ill look into doing that

Fedora 37/38 both have the AppleTalk driver blacklisted, my understanding is that it’s commonly done now but maybe that’s just on RHEL based distros then. I had no issues building or setting up netatalk 2.2.x. When I didn’t work after initial setup I just checked if the kernel module was loaded...

i think the powerCC website has instructions to add an extra power supply. basicually what i did was get a pcb mount psu that would fit where the hdd was ( as i use sd/compact flash devices these days rather then mechanical drives) and make a pcb with a relay on it and some connectors to attact...

id totally forgotten about webmin, i havent used it since the early/mid 2000's... i dont really have much of an issue using config files myself but im sure many people dont feel as comfortable doing that. something else that could be useful as part of the install process would to to make sure...

I had similar issues with my CC untill I added an extra 5v PSU. The analog board is woefully underpowered. After upgrading the logic board and adding a network card I was getting the same kinda problem on my screen. Once I added a second psu to power the 5v rail I’ve never had problems since.

also i think some sort of config GUI for netatalk 2/3 that can be used to setup shares and config the basics like netbios, users, permissions. etc in a much more 'Human Interface' way would be a massive improvement. perhaps being written in python and being able to autodetect the running OS for...

i think for the majority or users using appletalk they mainly want to be able to share files from modem computers to retro macs mainly system 6 onwards. due that i think that's why so much effort and work has been done in updating netatalk 2.2.x. my current understanding in that the plan is to...

glad to hear its working for you

its possible the security certificate has expired, you could try setting you system time to December 2007 and seeing if it lets you install when you say you install is broke what exactly did you mean, because the other option would be to try reinstalling os x over you current system and then...

if you hunt around you can still find 30pim sockets from time to time, but finding 64pin rom sockets its probably not even possible these days, last time i got some of those was around 4 years ago and while i bought about 5 of them, i kind of regret i didnt but like 10-20 of them. i couple...

https://support.apple.com/kb/dl170?locale=en_US direct apple download here, its the Combo update for PPC so it will update any version of 10.4 to 10.4.11

I actually did that when I upgraded my se/30 to have 128mb of ram, for me it was way cheaper at the time to buy 72pin ram with the correct size memory IC's and make my own 16mb simms. in terms of replaceing the se/30's 8 ram slot with 72pin simms, its certainly doable, however while I haven't...

im not 100% but to me that looks like micro JST
