Yup... forgot, no PRAM battery = automatic resetting of appletalk to the printer port 
changed that and it does see the older LaCie drive no problem, getting stuck at the point it shows the available sharepoints, but that drive has like 25-30 separate share points so that may be the issue.
it does NOT see the newer LaCie drive nor my macbook. also after waiting for a few moments my macbook says it can't find a server running on the SE/30's IP address.
Appletalk version is 7.2 (as noted in the bottom left corner of the chooser)
