I originally posted on the TinkerDifferent forum, but wanted to share my project with you all as well. - - - Similar to others (notably Sideburn and Colin, and others I'm sure), I built my own mini Macintosh using one of those Maclock clocks from AliExpress. I decided to go the route of...

Nice! I'm planning to follow this guide for adding wi-fi to the SE/30 which will also allow me to tunnel HTTPS requests for another project. The wi-fi adapter also happens to natively support 10mbit ethernet, so perhaps this tweak will help me with AppleTalk. Alternatively, I might try using...

ha ha ha, brilliant. thank you!

Maybe a silly question... is there a way to set the drive icon for an internal HD / partition? I have a SCSI2SD adapter with 2 drives—one of them shows the normal 'drive' icon, the other just displays as a folder, and I'm not sure how to change it.

Tried a fresh install of 7.5.3 (upgraded to 7.5.5) with OT 1.2, still experiencing the same issue of the SE/30 not seeing AppleTalk zones. For now I think I'm going to abandon this project. I *could* try a 10mbit hub or something... maybe on a rainy day :)

Asante MacCon ethernet card OpenTransport 1.1.2 TCP/IP 1.1.2

Thanks. Wow, I hadn't even thought to download direct from Adobe... what are the odds that they're hosting 22 year old drivers??? Well, turns out, pretty unlikely. All of the download links for 8.6 and 8.5.1 are broken  :-(  Fortunately I was able to find it hosted on some random server by...

Yeah, TCP/IP should be working correctly. I can FTP files to my SE/30 from my MacBook Pro via Presenz and the SE/30 can hit webpages. My PRAM battery is dead (waiting for an Amazon shipment) so it gets (annoyingly) zapped every time I shut down. The SE/30 is definitely not seeing any zones, but...

I'm currently trying via desktop printing, as the printer does not appear in the chooser.

Hmm yep I already had everything set up as you suggested. I'm actually running my own VM with Ubuntu 16.04 since the A2SERVER premade VM on his website is so old it can't download packages from apt  :sadmac: The only thing I haven't tried are the AdobePS drivers. Do you have a link to the ones...

Thanks all for the quick replies! @NJRoadfan I think you sent me down a good path. It looks like LPD is disabled in modern versions of CUPS, but I found this stackexchange post suggesting a way to open the port. Sure enough running `nmap` showed that port 515 was closed, and this opened it...

count me in

Hi all, I've read a few guides for bridging AppleTalk with ethernet for AppleShare and printing, but I seem to get stuck at some point going down each path: [Reddit] How I got my SE/30 to print to a cheapo laser printer. I set up the VM and did my own from scratch, following the instructions...

I've got a 17" iMac G4 800mhz (2002) and took it apart today to replace the hard drive and upgrade the RAM. Here's exactly what I did: 1: Disassemble according to the instructions here: ( ) 2: Gently vacuumed dust out of the case, trying very hard to not touch any metal components. Did not...

@techknight I bought them on Amazon. If you want them (I have 5 now) I'll send them to you for less than I paid. PM me. @K I'm in an apartment with a full-shade porch and no roof access. UV lamps were my only realistic option.

My exact recipe was as follows: I had no exact recipe. It was typically a 1 part H2O2 to 5 parts H2O mixture with a teaspoon or so of Oxiclean per bottle of H2O2. I would occassionally sprinkle some more Oxiclean into the mixture which would cause a really neat chain reaction clouding the water...

@Scott Thanks! I honestly can't believe I was able to get such great success with the retrobright. It's a hard process to screw up and definitely doesn't require the harshest of chemicals some might lead you to believe. Maybe I'll create some documentation... Specs: SE/30 circa Jan-Feb 1989, 68...

I've finally completed my SE/30 restoration project! Thanks to everyone on the board who helped in some way or another :) Here's a photoset on Flickr with some random shots of the process... I think the final shots and the retrobright comparisons are particularly interesting...

Installed OpenTransport 1.1.1... WOO HOO! My SE/30 is now FTP-ing, web browing, and tweeting like a champ! :b&w: :b&w: :b&w:

Ok, my SE/30 is retrobrighted, recapped, and fitted with the Maccon ethernet card. This might be a question for JDW – how do you have it configured? I've got a Time Capsule handing out DHCP and 10/100 ethernet cable. I have a feeling that both of those things will cause issues... How should I...
