[geeks] Well, the Mac SE/30 arrived - DEAD :^(

[Ken Hansen]

James,

I think I have a "stripped" SE/30 chassis that will be working it's way to
me (Thanks Geoff!), that has been reported to work - ideally I'll just need
to move the floppy from my dead unit to the chassis, slip in a 1 or 2 gig
HD, and then 8x 16 Meg SIMMs...

Geoff will be testing the unit before shipment, so all should be good.

I "won" an Asante Ethernet for the SE/30 on eBay ($15 + 5, OK I guess).

And the seller insured the package, so he says he will get my money back...

And finally, yes - I would like your Mac link collection - could you post it
to macweenies as well?

It is all working out - thanks everyone!

Ken
