I picked up an SE/30 with an ethernet pds card at Value Pillage for $4.99 in perfect shape with no burn in, a 40mb hd and 8 mb ram. Installed 7.01 on the machine and it ran fine. Went to install the localtalk bridge software but it requires 7.5 so had to hook up a CD-ROM and do a minimal install. Added ram doubler to 'increase' the ram. Running quite snappy now. Hooked up the SE and the classic to localtalk to test and those system 6 machines could see the ethernet macs.

Version 4.0 is based on Fedora Core. Downloaded the 4 iso's and burned to cd. However it does not support old world machines with the new open firmware.

The workaround is to install a minimal macos partition and use the bootX utility to boot to linuz. I installed a 2gig scsi drive on an adaptec 2930 to use as the mac partition and put 8.6 on it. The linux target drive is the 8gig IDE hd (hda0)
