I replaced jobs' IDE harddrive with a non-standard 4 GB drive and used a hacked partition tool to create four 500MB MacOS volumes. I left the other half of the harddrive unpartitioned for use by Debian Linux, which I have yet to successfully install. Due to the NuBus architecture, I have to use a modified Linux kernel (from nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net) to boot the installation disk. I can get the installation process started, but it fails while loading packages and I can't switch to another console to see the error. I haven't given up yet, though.

Meanwhile, I've got a LaserWriter cable attached to jobs to create a point-to-point LocalTalk network to woz, my SE/30. I considered setting up a LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge but as it's currently set up I can download files from the Internet on jobs and transfer them via AppleTalk to woz.
