Hi Folks
Currently custodian of My Brother's 1989 SE/30. It is a rather specced up old beastie:
SE Back Case - Upstairs flooded him out a few years ago, original lost/damaged. He "got a few SE's from work for parts" to rebuild. Signatures!
IIfx Rom
128mb Ram
MicroMac DiiMO 030 accelerator for the SE/30 50Mhz 030/68882 FPU
Connor 250MB Apple SCSI drive
3 Port ethernet card and breakout board (Brother says he had it running an external Colour display but dont see extra hardware)
Status: Working. Boots 7.5.5 from the HD, or it did before HDD removed, now it gives system disk ? prompt, which is expected.
Battery removed (Dated May '89
) no evidence of leakage but looked like it was about to start.
Caps a bit gooey as you can see from the board pic (UE 8 and 9)
Floppy drive not accepting discs - couldnt push a disk in. Could be lubrication or we squeezed something reinserting drive cage....
Plans:
MacBatt CR2032 in a box on a lead
Complete Recap - Mobo PSU and Logic Board, possibly expansion card as well. If ones started the others might be well on the way.
Changing of fan for something newer and quieter
Purple ROM install - doesnt change functionality but adds a bit.
Blue SCSI V2 with Pico wifi - will image the Drive with this then install internally.
And whatever else can be thought of
