I made a Network Access disk using my 1400cs (I love that machine, too bad its battery is dead) and got the SE/30 to boot from it. Once there, I dragged the HD's extensions folder to another area, and rebooted from HD. Once *that* booted up, I was able to go into the Memory control panel, enable 32-bit addressing, and finally drag the extensions folder back into the System Folder and reboot. That fixed the problem.

Either you all are extremely patient when loading web-pages with these machines, or you all simply dont post from a 68k. Now the goal is to try to get the machine on my phonenet network (though a localtalk-to-ethertalk adapter) and get netatalk on my Xen machine running again so I can make a backup of everything.

From there, the plan is to figure out how to discharge the CRT tube (I'm literally afraid of opening my machine --- this is my first compact mac) and check out the board for its general status (capacitor leakage, etc.).

The picture tube seems a little dark, the brightness seems to flicker just a tad, but no burn in or anything to speak of.

One of these days, i'm going to try to buy one of those SCSI-to-CF adaptors so I can move to a future-resistant setup.
