Jeff, I've found that the SE/30 sings for you also.  For example, hit the
reset switch while in the power-up sequence--get the sad Mac and hear a tune.

Question for EVERYONE in general--
  I now have an SE/30 with the internal 40 meg drive (which, btw, is FAST). 
The internal is set a SCSI 0, and is my startup drive.  I have an external
Mirror 40 meg (SCSI 4) and 40 meg tape drive (SCSI 1).  I am finding that when
I have the external drive/tape plugged in but NOT powered on, I cannot boot
the SE/30.  At all.  Just a grey screen--not even a flashin disk.  This sounds
reminiscent of the older Pluses...or do I just have a termination problem?

Note that the tape drive is hard-coded at SCSI 1, so I can't change addressing
on it, if that's an issue.
