Networking a Macintosh SE/30

they'd given in and accepted it but your SE/30's too old.  
 Indeed; I'm not actually 100% sure whether you can run 7.6 on
 an SE/30 (I've certainly run it on '030 machines, but I don't
 really recommend it).  7.5.x can run fine on 4MB machines and
 doesn't feel sluggish on an '030 like 7.6 does. 
The SE/30 does not have 32-bit clean ROMs, so it cannot run System 7.6.
If you steal the ROM SIMM from those relatively rare IIsis that have one,
or those relatively rare IIfxs, that will make the SE/30 32-bit clean, and
thus able to boot 7.6.

I am also told that PDS upgrades, such as an '040, will allow the SE/30
to boot up to 8.1.
