[SOLVED] Mac SE/30 Ram sockets where to buy them?

[naruse]

Hey everyone!

So I am in the process of de-soldering the ram sockets from a battery bombed SE/30 logic board and I broke one of the ram sockets (and that basically means I will most likely break the other ones); does anyone know where I can buy these sockets :/ ?

Also bonus question; does anyone know where can I buy just 1 socket for the ROM?, mine is quite corroded so I would prefer to change it. The site I saw it asks for a minimum order of 100...

Actually I just found this:

https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws9229/ Could this perhaps work? (the issue I see is that they are slanted)

Acutally I think I found it . https://www.ebay.ca/itm/122004729920

These appear to have a wrong spacing for the SE/30

really?; how come? -- how do you know? I see they are 2.54mm spacing, no?

Update: Ahh I think you are talking about the spacing between slots, good catch!

Bonus points; the ROM socket is here https://www.ebay.ca/itm/204778884804

you will get destroyed on shipping and duties. pe is not friendly at all.

check https://www.componentonline.com/ or reuse the old SIMM slots.

as for ROM socket I'd advise not going for the silly SIMM slot and just using the PLCC sockets

This is also a good source for 30 pin sockets: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/store2/#0099

Thanks!, Iwill be taking a look into that

Duh, actually great idea! I dint think about this

Thanks! I will take a look into that one as well -- I'm in canada so kind of sucks is in UK but will check on shipping!

A warning, those ones from Exxos store are super brittle, they have metal clips but the plastic is very easily cracked.

the 30pins really suck.

a silly idea... solder in some machine pin sockets, convert the SIMMs to SIPPs

 

[naruse]

hahah -- :O actually I had never thought about that!; I think worst comes worst I would do that -- but then I will have to "prepare" any new ram I put in everytime -- but I dont think this is as bad as is a once in a lifetime thing

If money is no object there is a 256MB RAM expansion card for the PDS slot made by one of our members here. You would not need to bother installing SIMM sockets with this card fitted.

woah TIL about that 256mb ram

I know, it’s pretty wild!

Not so silly, I like the SIPP Socket suggestion. That readies the board for a 72pin SIMM daughtercard conversion "upgrade." No increase in memory, but a cheap way to max it out.

Could someone produce a daughtercard that drops into the 30-pin footprint and has two 72 pin sockets on top? If they were angled, it could fit.

actually, where can I read about this upgrade? -- I have never seen this on a mac se/30

It's just a notion I'd been kicking around with @Bolle for a while. It made a lot of sense when 128MB was very expensive, but such became available at fairly reasonable pricing, so that project is back-burnered to curiosity level for now. I have a new logic board to play with at some point, so SIPP Sockets will be the order of the day.
