Freebie UK SE now gone

Just to confirm that the freebie SE has now been claimed. Good. Wasn't looking forward to having to bin the thing at all. I find it very difficult to bin working hardware, even semi-working hardware... Cheers, Ian -- Compact Macs is sponsored by . Support Low End Mac

Freebie in the UK: SE with network card but dead monitor

Right - free to good home in the UK with the exception of paying for postage. I have an SE with an ethernet card. The monitor is dead, everything else works. I'm not sure of the hard drive (currently doesn't have one in it, but I'm sure I could russle one up if required). Has a keyboard and mo

From: "Chuck Underhill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: How many RAM banks in an SE/30 You all might want to check out www.computersurplusout.com. I got 16Meg 30pin SIMM for $3 each, maybe less. Aargh! One week after I bought mine from Ebay. Still - not too expensive. I found them on a 'buy i

Two go in, one comes out

Well, my SE/30 is now safely ensconced in its new home, the SE case. Well, half an SE case to be precise - the back cover is off the SE/30, the front remains an SE. I realise this might upset the purists but hey - it works and I didn't need to play around with the tube. Bearing in mind that it

Damn! Just as it was all going so well...

Damn. Installing some new RAM, turned on the SE/30 - got some startup chimes which I assumed indicated the memory was wrong. Fixing it up when... ...when there was a tiny slip. The tiniest of slips. Just a small knock. A small knock which seemes to have ended the life of my tube. I heard a smal

IMAP clients that run on 68k 7.5.5

OK then - very close to getting my SE/30 system into a state I can called finished (of course, I might decide to morph it into something else later but for the moment this will do). I've updated the operating system to its latest possible iterations as far as I'm aware (System 7.5.5, OpenTransp

Very quick question - any problems with bringing an external Apple CD-ROM (300e or 600e) over from the US and then using it with UK mains? Cheers, Ian -- Compact Macs is sponsored by . Support Low End Mac Compact Macs list inf

SE/30 upgrade - hard drive section complete

Hi. Well, my first foray in eight years or more into the guts of a compact Mac has just finished. Simple upgrade - take out a half-height 20Mb drive, swap in a full height 1Gig. Ye gods, there are a lot of screws to undo. Four for the main case, three for what I presume is the PDS expansion sl

CD drivers for System 7.5.5

Hi. I'm looking at add a CD drive to the SE/30. Will any old external SCSI CD-ROM do, or will I have to be more careful about drivers? I'm looking at a Toshiba XM-3401 S, which seems to be ok but I can't be certain. I've checked at the Mac Driver Museum, but the Universal CD-ROM drivers there

30-pin 16 Meg SIMMs in UK

Anyone know where to get these cheaply in the UK? Cheapest I've found so far is $121 shipped from the States (welovemacs.com) - sounds drastically over the top to me. These things ought to go for a couple of quid each at best by now, surely. I've done some eBay-scouting (which confirms my coupl

UK source for a long-handled T15?

May sound like a trivial question but... Anyone found a source in the UK for getting the necessary long-handled T15? The only one I've found that looks vaguely right is a Draper tool for £4.99, but it seems to have quite a thick blade before the Torx attachement and I'm not at all sure that it

SE/30 and 1Gig drive

Hi. An SE/30 with a 20Meg drive arrived yesterday. I have a spare full-height 1Gig drive kicking about. and it would make sense to me if I swapped out the 20Mb and put in the 1Gig. Two things though - Are there any problems with running a drive that size in an SE/30? Power draw, OS incompabili

SE, DaynaPort E/SE and MacTCP

Hello. First posting to the list. I have a Mac SE with a DaynaPort E/SE installed. It's running System 7.5.5 and MacTCP 2.0.6. I would like to get this connected to a Linksys WRT54G router using a wired connection. Now, the WRT54G doesn't support bootp, and as far as I'm aware MacTCP doesn't
