Once the machines are all up and running and you think everything should be working, unplug the power to the AsanteTalk, wait a minute, then and re apply the power to it. This sho…

As everyone has said, it's always the battery. You'll get the startup chord, but nothing else until the battery has been replaced.

So... get thee an entry together. And load your super shotgun, you got some frags to rack up!

Thank you. Click to expand... De nada, comrade! ) Maybe you can give me some feedback on my notions for a new home for my plastic fish! :?: Methinks it's time to start…

Replacing C1 fixes one of the major problems with the earliest analog boards, but replacing only that cap won't solve other problems created by other caps that are either weak or d…

Anders, That's a very generous offer - and I may very well take you up on it. I'll see about buying the caps off Trag first though. It's be nice to get my SE/30's going again - e…

They're "copy protected" in the sense that you can't make additional copies outside of a personal backup. Since the software isn't sold anymore, it's perfectly legal to extend cop…

On the battery thing, johnklos is right. If you get a chime, then the system is ready to load. However, as JRL said, switch it off and back on right away and see if it boots. Whe…

Dude you just hit it out of the freaking park. That is the most concise explanation of the 400/800KB drive I have read. Even the biography is an excellent source of information. …

.conf file stuff: from atalkd.conf: fxp0 -seed -phase 2 -net 1-1000 -addr 1000.142 -zone "weif" This seems to match what I see in /var/log/messages afpd.conf is empty (except t…

the AsanteTalk packaging says it allows your ethernet Mac "to communicate with up to eight LocalTalk devices, including LocalTalk Macintoshes and LocalTalk supported printers." I w…

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. Yes, the kernel was compiled with netatalk enabled. I don't see any errors (at least nothing I think are errors) in /var/log/messages when I st…

Could you post some piccies of the SE in the Plus body?

I've bought mine off Trag (Jeff) here on 68kmla. Prompt shipping, and a fair price (15us$ I think). I live in Denmark, and I'd like to volunteer my labour to a fellow enthusiast. …

Aiiiii! Not sure that's a good idea at all. Pulling air from the top could interfere with exhausting air from the inside as well as draw in higher warmer air in the room, and theor…

Unless the Asante bridge is one of those "crippled" bridges that only work with printers, I suspect it's just "dumb" bridge and will happily shunt AppleTalk packets back and forth …

Keep the drive partitioned in 2GB chunks and you will be compatible even with System 6. My IBM DGHS is 4.5GB. I divided it up so System 6.0.8 could see all the files on all parti…

With my limited knowledge of SCSI standards, coupled with my first-hand knowledge of what have worked for me in the past, I can attest to the fact that as long as the drive is a 50…

Thanks Phreakout! I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick. While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method …
