can't sneakernet, as the floppy drive is chewing up disks (quite literally)... I have a IIfx, just popped the hood, it has three jumper points, two near the ROM SIMM itself, labelled J103 (which is connected) and J106 (which isn't), and one near the 68030, labelled J20 (not connected either). Are these it???? Bit reluctant to check the 8500, as it is a pain to check the entire motherboard. Don't suppose an SE/30 can do this trick?
