Ruby SE/30

[ct_cruncher]

I migrated my recently recapped SE/30 over to my Red @maceffectscase. Also, added an internal blueSCSI and Beelzabulb (thanks @Kay Koba) with a nice card access thanks to SmilingSavage’s beautiful wood expansion bracket. Rominator II from BMOW. This thing’s a ruby of a gem! Like a 1989 iMac.

I was able to get an Interware Vimage SE/30 pds card (on the way). Considering swapping the crt for an LCD that will display the output, but still on the fence as I like the look and feel as is.

I hope we can see easy access to grayscale ability for these someday down the line.

Not sure why the thumbnail images aren’t all loading. Oh well..

Damn that looks good. I see that you're using Silicon Insider SIMM in your SE/30. Are they detecting as 4x4MB (16MB total) in your SE/30? I put 4x4MB in mine and they're only showing up as 4MB total. Can't figure out if its my SE/30 or the RAM.

Yes, they are detected along with the 4x 1mb for a total of 20mb (sufficient for sure). What rom are you using for yours? I heard greater expansion is detected with an appropriate rom (in my case, the rominator II)

Its using whatever ROM came with the system (only got it yesterday). It came with what I thought was 4x1MB RAM sticks as well. I just pulled them out and tested them in my working Classic II and they're actually 4x2MB. Guess I've got some work to do on this SE/30, haha.

Edit: looked at the ROMinator II product page and read up on what it does. Looks like I'll be ordering one of those!

Yeah, was going to post the link but looks like you’re on the right track! Happy hacking!
