Geo,

Glad to see you're getting some questions answered! :)

Speaking of writing software. Dos systems usually had a simple programming langauge called "BASIC". Did the Mac have something similar?
The Mac didn't come with any kind of programming language, but there are a number of them available: Microsoft QuickBASIC, zBASIC, FutureBASIC, various pascal and C development suites. Many, many options.

I am assuming this is like a special piece of software?
Mode32 is a piece of software you install to enable 32-Bit addressing.

So then it probably would be best to find out what version of the MAC OS started using TCP/IP. I would assume then if the Mac computer had that capability then it should be able to communicate (share files) with a Windows machine?
I believe you need 7.5.5 for TCP/IP printing. That is the last version of MacOS that will run on the SE/30.

Hmmm, no not really. If I have a monochrome display, it would be safe to say that a monochrome printer would be fine .
LOL!

Wow! Looks like that printer is still readily available on Ebay. They have quite a few listed. Well, that is good news. How does the printer connect to the computer?
Macintosh 8-Pin localtalk serial cable.

Ok, so if I have a 20gig HD I can set it up in 10-2gig partitions (this is on an SE/30 now).
In theory.
