Adam Rosen from http://vintagemacmuseum.blogspot.com/ helped me out with the same task. Basically, what he told me is : - Use a Linksys WET11 ethernet-to-WiFi bridge or similar with the Mac SE/30. You typically need to configure the adapter to join a WiFi network using a more modern Mac or PC and it's web browser, then you can connect it to older systems. This will bridge TCP/IP traffic, but not AppleTalk. I can use Fetch, MacTCP Ping and Netscape on the SE/30 but I can't browse AppleShare volumes in the Chooser. Also you need an ethernet port. The SE/30 has a PDS slot for which several ethernet adapter cards were made. For instance http://lowendmac.com/daystar/pages/dsd_products/upgrades/030.040/t040spec.html Good luck with your project Cheers Laurent > > > Greetings All, > > New to this group, but not as new to vintage macs.
