Hi Elfen
First of all, it's good to have you back on 68kmla. I head about your trip to the hospital and stuff. I'm glad you're all right and I must thank you about your seizable
message (seize of the message -- hard drives?), it takes time to type it. You must be tired and all.
I know it's probably not a great choice to buy a second hard drive. I will have a rethink. You see I wanted to own a computer and use it as if we were in 1989. The SE/30 would have been brand new at that time. I have two cards, an accelerator and a color video card. They are period correct. And I think a SCSI2SD will look out of place among those two. But then, ya know, I prefer having a working computer than a broken one, who doesn't?
salut Bibilit,
Yeah that could be another option. Those HDs are a lot newer than the ones I was thinking about. But they could be a good compromise.
Who told you that I'm not using this SE/30 on a daily basis ? I'm using it at least twice a week!
I remember the shop I took the mobo to to have it recapped. I didn't know Uni could do that at the time. The guy was staggered and said I should get a newer computer. He must have thought it was my main machine lol
In all seriousness though,
I'm going to use this computer for my studies. It will be my version of the Retr0challenge. I'm a Mechanical Engineering student, so CAD like Solidworks or CATIA won't run on this for sure but I could produce exel and word documents and even print them with a Imagewriter II if I can get a cheap one.
Office hasn't evolved much. (it still looks awful compared to iWork IMO) But I bet they couldn't tell the difference.
I'll give that a try one day.
