    Modern 30pin SIMM Brands?

    I can only confirm that 8 of these fit perfectly and have been woriking with no problems for about a year in my SE/30. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/

    Not sure if you checked this out, but this saved four out of four disk drives for me.

    Filled it up with 8 of these (128mb). They've been great. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/

    That's the right link, yes. So go with 25v Polymer Tantalums (and that one little 50v) Here's a link to what I used. These have been perfect. https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=33371c761b

    Also and possibly most important, use 25v polymer tantalum capacitors rather than 16v. JDW made a good video explanation of why this is a better idea but I can't find the link. I used 25v polymer tantalums as he recommended and I've had no issues at all with my SE/30.

    Very good news! Looks relatively clean. Yeah, be careful with the simm slots. Should one break, I know some people recommend using a little hot glue at the edge of the slot. UE8 looks pretty good and you said you have no video issues so that should be fine. Things do look a little funkier by the...

    you're probably right. I think I was trying 3.5.6 and it told me it required 7.0, and later.

    As far as I can tell, Workstation 3.5 is system 7 only.

    well, again, just knowing you won't have to worry about it for another 15 or 20 years, at least… that's good enough for me. To each their own. I also just enjoy recapping those and find it the simplest part of a full restore. Surely there is a little bit of OCD going on in this hobby in general...

    OK to each their own but I say if you've got the skills to replace the logic board surface mounts, there's no reason to not replace the 30+ year-old caps on the analog board. All the components are pretty far away from each other comparatively and JDW's mouser cart is about $20 i think. I...

    yes, thanks. As stated earlier, just trying to get files over to the SE .. which has a spinning disk drive... and you are absolutely correct that I have no idea what I'm doing...YET!
