SE Motherboard, unknown Accelerator, SCSI HD's for grabs

[fredc888]

Hi Folks,

Sorry for this posting this here instead of the trading subforum, but I wanted to make sure anyone that needs the things i have gets this message.

I accidently stumbled on this forum from yahoo news about a company called Daystar Technologies...That reminded me of Daystar Digital (old accelerator company) and reminded me of an SE/30 and SE parts and accelerators that I still had collecting in my closest. Long story short, it led me to this forum.

I grew up on the old generation macs and used them throughout high school and college. I never gave my Mac IIx, SE/30 and my overclocked Mac IIsi away (also still have my Apple IIe I grew up with as a kid)...until now...

Nothing would get my wife more excited than me moving some of my old stuff out of our closet, so I guess this is spring cleaning for me...

Anyway, I'm keeping my SE/30 because it's classic, but I wanted to offer to anyone interested somefree parts that is collecting dust, as long as you pay for shipping to whereever you are. Alternatively, I live in San Diego, so if you interested in pickup, stuff is yours for free.

Here's what I found so far

1) SE motherboard with original 68000 processor. Motherboard is believed to work.

2) Unknown accelerator for SE motherboard. I don't have the name of this accelerator card, and yes I'm sure it's for only the SE and not the SE/30, since this accelerator taps into the 68000 pins directly. The accelerator has an MC 68030/33 processor with an fpu, and supports up to 4mb simm models directly on the accelerator (I believe the original SE only supported up to 2mb)

3) SCSI hard drives 40/80mb.

4) I also have an external metal enclosure.

5) External SCSI cd-rom. Sony cdrom (i believe I paid $150 for this once upon a time)

6) SuperDrive (I believe that was what these were called 1.44 floppy drives)

7) RCA analog video capture card for IIsi

8) Daystar Digital 68030/40 with the FPU. Personally, I'm really not inclined to give this away. I'm trying to find an adapter for the SE/30.

9) Video output card for the SE/30. Allows you to plug in an external monitor to an SE/30. I'm willing to give this away if you folks can find me stuff I'm looking for

10)Plenty of software.

All items are offered free/as-is. So I cannot guarentee whether things will work or not. Your only cost is shipping. In the spirit of exchange, I'm looking for the following two things. if you have any leads on this stuff and/or can exchange it with me for free, I'd appreciate it.

1) external SCSI based ethernet adapter (yes, I know this exists because I rented one in colllege)

2) An adapter card for daystar digital accelerator to SE/30. Daystar made adapter boards specifically for almost each Mac, so I need the on specifically for an SE/30.

Fred, I'm a 68k user and would like to know if you still have the SE motherboard available.

I'm also interested in locating an Apple-brand external SCSI hard drive (5MB-40MB).

Please advise...thank you.

Hi Fred and welcome.

Unfortunately the Daystar adapter for the SE/30 is a fairly rare and sought after item. Although they turn up with some regularity on ebay, they tend to sell at between $100 and $200, sometimes more, because of the continuing popularity of the SE/30 itself.

A chap by the name of artmix in Japan makes and sells a new SE/30 adapter, and charges around $200. He hasn't had any in stock for some time by the look of it (Illusory mania among the items that had been reprinted ?? )- he probably only runs up a batch every now and then.

A couple of us are investigating possible alternative solutions, but as is the way with hobby projects, whether any of these see the light of day is anyone's guess.

Manabu Sakai is the owner of ARTMIX Japan. He's an eccentric fellow, so try not to ask him too many questions or he'll get into a frizz. And definitely never try to phone him, or he'll put his mother on the phone and have her shield him from questions -- even if you speak Japanese!

I own a TS Adapter and a 40MHz Turbo 040 card. They both work wellto bring the SE/30 up to top performance, but keep in mind that the 040 is less compatible than an 030 upgrade (like the DiiMO), even with the 040 caches disabled. Despite the marginally slower speed, I have the 50MHz DiiMO in my SE/30 at the moment.

I remember reading about him...totally eccentric..Loved the story about him putting his mom, on the phone...that's rich !!!!

Hopefully, some additional projects with the SE/30, will come out..

much like the stuff for the Mac XL...(Lisa )
