SE/30 Web Server Back Up
Hey everyone, just getting ready for this years winter project....
I had a pretty popular little site going called MacLegacy a few years ago and decided to start it up again. I have the SE/30 hooked up, router setup, MacHTTP configured... the email server isn't up and running yet, but am working on it.
I was wondering if you guys to do some tests for me...
www.maclegacy.ca
(I lost the .com for it so had to pick the Canadian version. It might take 24 hrs for the domain to hit everyones dns servers. It should be good by the evening of October 13th.)
I want to know if you can view it and if the layout is decent. I used an ancient version of GoLive to make up the html. So the layout might get messed up on a modern browser. My tests it looks fine, but who knows. And if anyone could test it on a classic Mac, that would be way cool.)
I would also like knowing how fast it is loading. Don't expect miracles as my cable connection is on the slow side as well. But if it unbearably slow, let me know.
Post your findings here.
Thanks.
Oh, I'll also take links or other info that I can add to the site.

I opened the site in Safari 4, Firefox 3.5, Netscape 9, Opera 9, and Seamonkey and they all looked fine. Safari loaded the page quickly with the others noticeably slower. Nice site! I like the clean layout.

I think I saw the Macintosh Garden link listed on the software page.

Thanks for checking. I have a bunch of stuff to add and delete. Hopefully the SE/30 lasts. You can't turn off the monitors on these things. The one I am using now, the monitor picture waves once in a while. Not sure if its on the way out as well. But it's actually quite a fast little computer. Way more snappy than my mystique Color Classic.
My next question...
Is there any FTP server software out there for Mac OS 7.5? It's a pain transferring files by floppy. I could only find FTP client software.
I might also add a Powermac 6500 to the mix to handle old software downloads. I want to offer free abandonware to us guys. Do you think it would be worthwhile?
Thanks again.

Macs rule.
Hopefully the spam doesn't take over.
