Macintosh SE/30 Triple Threat

[bregard]

An SE/30 with ethernet and 32MB of RAM running OS 7.1 is perfection to me.

I also like an SE with dual floppies and a skinny SCSI HD on top, especially with a Radius 68020 upgrade.

Did he order the greyscale upgrade?

What I am looking at right now:
Duelspark Twin Card Adapter For SE/30 Stratos Technology (ordered)
DayStar Turbo 040 40MHz MC68040RC40 PDS Accelerator (have it)
30Video VGA Color Video PDS Card (ordered)

Looking for something like the suggested ZuluSCSI Pico Slim (need 5Ghz).

that will be difficult... the radio in the rp2040W only supports 2.4ghz operation

I am new to this too. Yours looks like a fun project. Interested in how it all turns out. I also want to source an SE/30 at some point, and mess around with it. Posting here to mark this thread and learn.

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W (RP2350) should support 5Ghz no options?

No, it only has a 802.11n/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio.

I recommend the ZuluSCSI Pico Slim... It's far sturdier than the crappy case they throw in with the db25 bluescsi2 clones...
it's also far more compact... less likely to get caught on something and snap in half.

I second that recommendation. I have about a half-dozen Pico Slims sitting on the back of classic macs. Appletalk over Wifi has some minor issues, but it basically works and makes it quite easy to move files around.
