I know SE/30s are notoriously fussy about ram.. just want to make sure I buy the right stuff. Any concensus about what is currently on eBay or other places? Thanks.

These are 4MB modules but you can use larger capacity chips to build 16MB SIMMs with the same PCBs
I built 8 of these by sacrificing two 16MB 72 PIN SIMMs (FPM not EDO)
Cost of all parts was around $20 to build 8
It will boot fine, but it will look like the system is using all but about 7MB of RAM. MODE32 works really well, install it in the Control Panels folder, launch it and turn it on (no need to restart yet), then go to the Memory Control Panel and turn on 32bit, then restart. I think it does a double start thing first time , but after that all your RAM is usable in System 7.If I got four 16mb SIMMS, the SE/30 will only see 8mb until I install Mode32 or swap out the ROM for something 32bit clean.
But it should boot with a normal SE/30 ROM and 16mb SIMMS, correct?
I bought them from that seller in the past. They are not low profile enough. Unless placed solely in the 4 rows closest to the ports at the back on the se/30, they will hit against a protrusion in the metal frame as you slide the logic board back in, and possibly break a RAM socket clip, as happened to me.This is what I'm planning to get for an SE/30...anyone have any experience with it?

1-800-4-memory’s website appears to have disappeared. I don’t know if they are now selling their stock on eBay the way Memoryx did, or if someone else is using their name to sell their wares in eBay.I'm pretty sure I've bought 30 pin SIMMs from 1-800-4-memory and memorymasters on eBay. Both legit sellers.
I seem to remember seeing something about that. Going out of business maybe, I don't recall exactly. They had a great inventory!1-800-4-memory’s website appears to have disappeared.

These are kind of tall. Did you have any trouble getting them in the SE/30 case? Do you have them in Bank B as well? Thanks.I have these. They work in Mac SE/30 or Mac IIsi.

ok thanks!I have had no issues with 8 of these inside 2 Macintosh SE/30 computers and 4 each inside two Macintosh IIsi computers. I heard of some people with issues of them hitting the Chassis inside a Mac SE/30. Perhaps there are different chassis versions, idk.
I just have to stop what I’m doing for a second to point out the fact that this forum is freaking amazing!Home made ram works
