I mean networking can be a lot simpler than you think. In System 7, you can create an alias of the server, and add it to your Startup Items folder. Let's say you run a Netatalk 4 server on your primary machine, which happens to run Linux. Perfect - you can literally have a direct connection from...

The Macintosh SE has an expansion slot unique to that system. The Macintosh SE/30 and IIsi use the same 030 Processor Direct Slot (PDS) expansion slot. The Macintosh LC, LC II, LC III, Classic and so on use the LC PDS expansion slot design. Some of the later ones used a CommSlot interface for...

I've gone through the usual churning of image hosting, they seem to start out good, turn out great, then turn to rubbish within a decade. Think Imgur might be running out of steam for me soon. If you ever find a Turbo 601 laying around that you're not too attached to, I'm not going to pay...

You could use FTP, I use it all the time and recommend it, but you should try to use AFP if possible. It's faster, less hassle, and has better integration with the OS. If you're FTPing with OS X, you'll probably have some work to do. As mentioned earlier, the link below goes over all of this.

I use mine all the time to network stuff back and forth. Wires are already set up, mostly, so all I have to do is wake a machine and it's ready. It's quite convenient. For instance, to upload some images on 68kmla just yesterday, screenshot on the SE/30 and IIci, FTP it over to the mac mini...

The difference is the logic board, some slight differences in the chassis, the front case part, swapping the floppy drive to a 1.44MB drive if it was originally a SE with 1 or 2 800K drives. The back case is functionally identical, just a different label on it. The analog board, PSU, CRT and CRT...

The link is in the signature, red text. It specifically covers everything about this topic and much more. The 68882 FPU is in the socket next to the ribbon cable that connects the main board to the daughter board. It's an option, granting the IIsi a FPU, as it doesn't come with one like the...

You're probably better off using a virtual machine like Basilisk II or QEMU. If you want EtherTalk, aka not-AFP over TCP, you'll have more work to do, because the kernel doesn't support AppleTalk.

I wouldn't do that. The WiFi functionality has a spotty track record, and for every one that I hear that it works well, I get at least one that has issues with it. I've never used it on any of mine, mostly because I don't use WiFi and I don't have a reason to need it. Also AppleTalk over WiFi...

I put out a reply indicating his response was insufficient. There's resources in this community, but they're kind of sparse. I.E. I'd like have my SE/30 motherboard reflowed and looked over, but I don't know of anybody who can do it.

The Booster 2.0 68030 47MHz accelerator has a pass through slot. I have one in my SE/30, with an Asante MacCon card stacked on top of it. It's an earlier version of the Booster so it's not the one with the updated GALs, but it works fine. Ethernet works fine too. You don't need ASC 3.7.4 and...

You should probably look at getting an Ethernet card for the SE/30. WiFi on the BlueSCSI isn't something I would trust -- no offense to the developers -- just that there's too many variables with it for me to consider it anything other than a bonus. I would also recommend using 7.1 on the...

You should get a PCI Ethernet card. Fortunately, they're cheap, plentiful and many should work right out of the box. Ideally you'll hunt for one that is supported by 7.5.5/7.6.1 if you want to use those, but also Mac OS 9. https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Farallon_10/100_PCI_NIC There's a handful...

Thread on 68kmla.org Neat. Can I see what the motherboard looks like with all that stuff attached to it?

I had it happen on a Quadra 650 and a Quadra 610. The 650 was the most embarrassing one, because I was borrowing it from volvo242 and checking out 8.1 versus 10.14 in a library. It lasted less than 5 minutes before nuking itself and I didn't have anything else to substitute for it. Ended being...
