Well, I guess that depends on your definition of better. Previously, the pinstripes were one dead column and one flickering column each. Now it's just two dead columns each.

Also: I have the non-pinstriped SE/30 at work with me, and I tried making a boot disk using resources I found on the board here. (My work PC is an older Dell desktop running WinXP; it's the only computer I have access to with a floppy drive). Unfortunately, the Mac is rejecting every disk I try to make.

After inserting the disk the first time, it will immediately spit it out with an X disk icon. I wait for the X to turn back into a question mark, then insert the disk again. This time it will start to read, give me a happy Mac, then reject the disk. This pattern of one instant reject, one start-to-boot can be repeated ad nauseum. It's done that to me with three different disks made from three different image files.
