It's been a long journey, but we're here. Almost the entire text has been overhauled, save a few sections. Even if you've seen it before, chances are good you'll find something new. http://applefool.com/se30/

Very well, hopefully your positive matters continue to your satisfaction. I'll mark you down as person #2 who has replied to my requests for info across 5 forums. So you're special!

Ah, very much thanks for the offer. I was able to wrangle one out of some eBay sellers for less than they were asking for (a lot), but still paid (a lot). Perhaps you have other things on that list? Many are probably lost forever.

I don't know where to put this and I'm cross posting it between one or more forums, so here goes... So I'm dredging the internet hard and coming up short on a lot of older Macintosh publications, manuals and so forth. One thing on my mind right now is the manual for the Inter-Poll / InterPoll...

If it doesn't boot System 6, it's just an underperforming G3 or G4.

gaaaaah Mine is a V2 external model. It's been extremely handy with dealing with some machines for the final stretch of real hardware testing for the CMN 4.0 release. I found about the self-nuking principle in a rather uncomfortable scenario, bit of a long story. But it's been great for fooling...

I'm more worried about the habitual self-nuking that has happened on two 68040 machines, sometimes within single digit minutes of it being booted. It's made me reconsider BlueSCSI for internal applications. IDK what a tantalum board looks like besides your image. A good image for an...

All this talk of batteries got me remembering, at least Maxell apologized... https://web.archive.org/web/20221109215132/https://nitter.net/MaxellCorp/status/1588314702844952576#m https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/maxell-responded-to-the-battery-leak-issue-on-twitter.42585/ I use normal...

yeah Manual in PDF format and copy of the installer disk will be available with v4.0 of CMN. Along with some other scans of manuals.

Found out why mine doesn't have the ROM HI and LOW chips. You get them from the SE motherboard.

Well what I mean is take care of it, and 40 year old capacitors need to be changed. But tantalums can go BOOM (like here) and electrolyctics work just fine. If you buy quality ones they'll also last a long time. IIfx ROM and Mac OS 8.1 I don't quite understand though, the SE/30 is already...

There's going to be a special place in the future for those who keep their SE/30s pretty much, well, stock. Stock ROM, original battery configuration, spinning disk, electrolytic capacitors, original fan, ... When was the last time you saw a original, well preserved unmodified Golf MK1 GTI...

Sounds kinda neat, like iOS in the earlier days with its sandboxy nature. But shirley you don't get something for nothing. What kind of problems does it introduce? Every type of methodology has certain things it's good at, certain things it's not good at. Of course it's Linux, so the answers...

There's 3 ways of installing it because there's 3 ways of installing it. From repository, that's fine as long as what they specify in the build specs matches what you want. For example, in Netatalk 2.1 era days, not all the repositories would have it built with AppleTalk enabled. If it wasn't...

That's great: I assume it's updated dynamically? squints...Arch Linux...pacman...where is it... Suggestions: "Below is an overview of the capabilities and bundled utilities that Netatalk provides. " should have a "with the latest version" because some of the package managers are providing...
