Thanks to all for your replies.
At present I'm waiting for four 128 MiB RAM DIMMs to show up for my PM 7600 to bring its memory up to 1 GiB. The VRAM and cache are already maxed. Once I get the final RAM chips installed, I can close up the machine and proceed with using it to make some OS 7 boot and utility diskettes for the now revived SE/30. (Not exactly sure which files are best here.) Once OS 7 is on the SE/30 HD, I can use a pair of PhoneNet connectors to network the SE/30 and the PM 7600.
I will need to set up two software bridges: one for the AppleTalk/PhoneNet connection from the SE/30 to the PM 7600, and one for the TCP/IP/Cat5 connection from the PM 7600 to the home LAN. Might need some help here as I haven't done much with either AppleTalk or PhoneNet network since my Mac Plus era (1986-1998).
I have gotten the PM 7600 to connect to my router to get an IP addresss via DHCP, although I'd rather have it have a fixed address. I have proven this to work by havng the PM 7600 running OS 8 to synchronize its clock with Apple's time server.
I want to get all of the above done before deciding what to do with the SE and the other SE/30. I would like to revive both, but this will mean buying two more hard drives for internal mounting. Getting these in good shape and with a warranty is not cheap.
