This is my accelerated DiiMO 50MHz SE/30 setup, with 128MB RAM and Apple HD20SC external zero footprint hard drive enclosure (4.5GB 7200rpm SCSI mechanism inside) sitting beneath the Mac. The keyboard is a slimline Apple IIgs model, smaller than the stock SE/30 keyboard. The Newton 2100 connects nicely with the SE/30 via Ethernet or Serial and exchanges information with Apple's NCU software. (If you click All Sizes and look closely at my large photo, you can see the enclosure is for the Message Pad 2000, but the internal circuit board was upgraded to the 2100.)

 

Thanks to the IIsi ROM inside, this SE/30 can easily run OS 7.6.1 and 8.1. I currently have System 6.0.8, System 7.1, 7.5.5, 7.6.1 and 8.1 on a 1GB boot partition, and I can select which OS to boot from via System Picker.

 

The SE/30 system is powered through a Sophisticated Circuits PowerKey Classic, which allows me to turn on the SE/30 and external drive by the simple touch of the power button on the keyboard. It also auto powers off all devices when I select ShutDown.

 

I also replaced the SE/30's internal fan with a 60mm Silenx iXTREMA IXP-34-16, which cut the noise level to about 1/5 of what it was before (in other words, I can't hear the Silenx fan at all over the sound of the spinning hard drive).

 

I originally had the 4.5GB hard drive inside the SE/30 but later moved it to the external enclosure to reduce heat inside the computer. The other side benefit to this arrangement is that the HD20SC raises the SE/30 to almost the perfect height for me, so I don't have to constantly look down at the screen.

 

What you see on the screen is MacTools 4.0 Disk Clinic checking the hard disk contents.

 

In the background and just above the Newton are the 3 modems used by my 100Mbps fiber optic internet connection. Yes, I have the SE/30 browsing the web on this internet connection, at 10Mbps Ethernet 10-BT speeds of course, via MacCon Ethernet card connection through a 100/10BT Ethernet Hub. My G4 Cube shares this connection and I can exchange files to an from the SE/30 and Cube easily. I can connect to the Cube from the SE/30 via any OS on the SE/30 (even System 6) when the Cube is running OS 9. But I need to run 7.5.5 and higher to connect over AppleTalk when the Cube is running OS 10.4 Tiger.

 

For lively discussions on classic "compact" Mac computing, I recommend the 68kMLA Compact Mac forum.

 

I was surprised and honored to have been approached by Giles Turnbull for a Cult of Mac article on this SE/30. I hope it inspires some of you to take a trip back to the past with that old Mac lurking in your closet.

Doug Kalitta with another good looking pass but he did not improve. Justin Ashley started to mix up cylinders around the 1/8 mile mark and clicked it off. If you look closely at the front end of Justin's engine you can see a significant fuel leak.

 

Doug Kalitta's incremental times: 60ft-0.854 sec., 330ft-2.163, 660ft-3.051/288.58 mph, 1000ft-3.786/328.46 mph.

 

Justin Ashley's incremental times: 60ft-0.851 sec., 330ft-2.175, 660ft-3.169/240.89 mph, 1000ft-4.081/249.53 mph.

I had to pose with this huge torque wrench Adam has to send out to get fixed. HUGE! They're like $800 new.

Marcos Ambrose (born 1 September 1976 in Launceston, Tasmania) is a championship winning Australian racing car driver. He currently drives the #9 Stanley Black & Decker Ford Fusion for Richard Petty Motorsports in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Ambrose is a dual Australian V8 Supercar champion in 2003 and 2004, having spearheaded Stone Brothers Racing's rise in the sport which saw the team dominate for three years after a five-year drought for Ford teams in the championship.

 

In 2006 Ambrose relocated to the USA to pursue racing in NASCAR, starting with the Camping World Truck Series; driving a Ford for JTG Daugherty Racing. He moved up to the Nationwide Series in 2007 with the same team; driving the #59 Kingsford Charcoal Ford Fusion for JTG Daugherty Racing, before racing in the Sprint Cup Series with Wood Brothers Racing, first with Fords then Toyotas. Ambrose joined Richard Petty Motorsports in 2011 where after four years in the Sprint cup he scored his first race win at Watkins Glen, becoming the first Australian driver to do so.

The first leg of our trip took us to Coronado Springs Resort on Disney property for the Mac Tools Fair. We hit the tool fair floor after checking in and hitching a ride on the nifty golf carts they have to haul you around in.

 

If it wasn't for those golf carts, we would've walked miles and miles while we stayed at the resort--the grounds were extensive!

 

I couldn't resist this opportunity to pose inside Bigfoot's tire!

I was in Adam's tool truck trying to get his printer working again. The thing was being utterly ridiculous and I never did get it to work properly and kept falling asleep while I was trying to download patches. Annoying! I took this with my Blackberry Pearl, which I will be returning soon.

US Nationals Testing 2012. Not quite the shot that I wanted but note to self; always be prepared on every run because you never know what might happen.
