That's part of why I'm thinking this may be the way to go. As I said, I don't have anything besides these two SE/30s that uses floppy disks at home, and I threw out all my old floppies seven or eight years ago. Since I can't seem to get this machine to accept the floppies I'm making anyway, they don't really serve any purpose. Replacing the hard drive with removable media (ie. CompactFlash) and using that in conjunction with an emulator on my laptop seems the better option.

In the long run, I'd like to either get both of these machines online so I can download directly to them, or get at least one online and use an AppleTalk network to transfer between them.

A third alternative would be getting an external SCSI CD-ROM, and burning everything I want onto CD from my laptop and transferring it to the SE/30s that way.

But first, I need to get the one computer set up with an OS, and the other to stop showing pinstripes.
