I did a comparison test with FTP yesterday, results are in the Data Transfer Rates section. MacBinary II (transferred as raw data, in the Binary mode) encoded files are indeed faster to send over the wires. You get about a 10% speed hit, ish, by using BinHex encoded ASCII files. I don't think...

http://applefool.com/se30/moreinfo.html#easyshare That is, assuming you have a 128K mac, not a 128K ROM mac. The 128K should have the 64K ROMs yes? Suppose you swapped in the 128K ROMs into a 128K Mac?

Oh of course. I've used System 6 on a 512Ke, and I wou...wouldn't recommend it. It's not slow, but it's not as fast as S3.3/F5.4, and you notice the memory is less than it was before. Since you have a 128K, have you tried doing a 128Ke? I am curious about whether EasyShare would work on such a...

ya. I don't think I could endure a Color Classic without an accelerator. Which one? Obviously the Sonnet Presto Plus, with a '040, extra memory, and Ethernet too? Sold. Which is funny because it's not that much different than the LC II. Over at VCF, there's a member there who loves to dump on...

I should also point out that without an accelerator, your performance with a video out card will be awful. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/rasterops-clearvue-se-pds-card-external-monitor-accelerator.1534/#post-11186 Around 1993-4ish we had an SE/30 that had a color video out board in it...

yeah I write all about that below. I haven't kept up on serial transfer stuff for Windows/Linux/OS X since 2015 which is when that whole section was written, that was Windows 7 days. But any compatible XModem/ZModem/ASCII capable program can do it on the more modern machine. The limitation is...

David, I love your work. You're the kind of person this community needs. I think I only used your program once or twice, but I have no doubt it's probably pretty slick for Pluses and earlier. You are correct that BinHex file transfers are slower: normally, I use FTP to transfer stuff from my...

Version 4.1 is out. It's mostly a semi-formal way of incrementing the version as I've snuck in quite a few updates since April. We are up to over 660 images. And two new manuals. More too!

Fair. But in the mid '90s I remember getting a SE/30 with a PDS color video out board in it. The performance drag was very noticable: I can't really quantify it today, but roughly speaking, it pulls it down to about the speed of an SE. Now if you have a socketed motherboard with a 50MHz...

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...
