Yeah. Unfortunately it looks like it could be a long while before I can get an SE/30. I live in a small town so it's really unlikely I will ever find one locally and I don't drive so going out of town is out of the question. Getting one from somewhere online will probably be the only way.
Yeah I mistakenly called it AAUI. I am aware it's an AUI port now though.
I already have what I believe to be a compatible transceiver in my eBay watch list. I correctly pegged it as AUI a week or so ago. I just got the two switched around when I created this thread:
Centrecom 210TS
So way ahead of you on that one. Just checked the image you posted. Identical to what I bookmarked on eBay lol. So I'm dead on. I've already flipped that switch to TX as I read that being mentioned somewhere else on the forum. I forget where.
As for data transfer, I'm going to get both the transceiver (as I already wanted to get one to really make the Asente card a complete set so to speak. ) anyways but I will also get the ISA SCSI card for the old PC I already have. I'm probably not going to do PC to Mac transfer of large things very often by the time I eventually get an external SCSI CD-ROM drive, so I don't want to spend too much on a couple ZIP drives I probably end up only using once.
I also found this:
APS Technologies Jazz Drive
It's missing the data cable. (heck a lot of the drives on eBay are.
), but it probably still works. If that listing is still around on the 2nd, I may pick it up solely for the enclosure it's sitting in.
Might be cheaper to get an internal SCSI CD-ROM drive and throw it in an enclosure then to get one that is already an external drive.
Also, probably a coincendence, but your user name immediately reminded me of ClarisWorks. Earlier today I was experimenting with converting a image from BMP into something ClarisWorks can read. I had to modify the file type and file creator info to correctly associete a TIFF image I made so that ClarisWorks will open it. The "file creator" field in the file info data I was editing with ResEdit has the 4 letter creator code for ClarisWorks as "BOBO". Not sure if that's the reason behind the user name or not. I also had a cat with that name.
