Ok, the Shift-at-launch method worked. The computer booted without a hitch. I thought it may have been a temporary error so I tried restarting it normally, bam same thing, Error #2. Booted it again with Shift : no problem.
I forgot how blazing fast this thing actually is. That's also why I love Mac OS9.
It has been unplugged for maybe two years, or more... But now I'm probably going to be using it more (it's really good as a typewriter, as there are literally no distractions, no internet, nothing, does wonders for concentration). Anyone has a clue what extension might be causing this ? Don't recognize all the extensions that power up at launch (there are the usual Fonts and Quicktime and stuff), though there may be a couple that don't serve any actual purpose (Disinvectant for example).
I should probably make a bootable floppy just in case. I have a usb floppy disk reader/writer so I can actually communicate with the SE/30 (which is cool). However the floppies that I format on the SE/30 seem to be read-only, and the SE/30 doesn't seem to read Mac OS Extended-formatted disks. Anyone has a good OSX app for managing floppy disks ? (or OS 9 even, I still have my G3 iMac at hand)
