Besides the SE/30, only one of the SE’s is in working order and even has a network card. The rest are for parts, or serve as bedstands and plantstandards and such. The Classic II had a successful Debian install once, minus a network. It was my first machine and introduction to Linux on mac68k, and made me want to have a SE/30.

I got the IIci together with a monitor, and I put in a 2GB disk and a network card. After installing MacOS 7.5.5 on the new disk, I then proceeded to install Debian on it. Woody wouldn’t boot into the installation routine, so I had to go with the older Potato. The base install went really fast and I thought the upgrade to Woody with dist-upgrade would go equally smooth. Well, smooth it went but it took more than three days to complete..

I never managed to do a succesfull netboot, and the floppydrive was dead. But I have a Sparc Ultra 1 that came to the rescue. After taking off the lids of both machines I crosswired the working floppydrive of the Ultra 1 with the IPX. Power for the drive came from the Ultra 1. This was easier than taking out the drive and putting it in the IPX, at least I didn’t have the patience to get the drive out, it was mounted rock solid.
