    SCSI HD doesn't boot internally in SE/30 (but works externally)

    Preserve an SE (M5011) for the future

    The unstable screen can be caused by leaking caps on the analog board or the PSU. I would recap them first. The keyboard is easy to find and not so expensive like the Mac plus keyboards.

    Mac Plus Alps keyboard switch, anything in the UK?

    Sometimes the switchplate is broken inside. I repaired some of them with a little bit of aluminium foil to make sure that there is a contact. https://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Alps_internals--CM,_complicated,_grey_switchplate.svg https://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL/SKCM_series

    Weird sad sound from SE/30

    It is a death chime. Could be a RAM/ROM Error. Open the case and check/reseat the RAM/ROM. Which ROM do you use? Rominator sometimes does not fit very well in the ROM slot. https://www.prusaprinters.org/de/prints/35592-macintosh-se30-rom-clips

    Questions with Mac Plus

    The bluescsi needs an internal SCSI connector, that the plus does not have. So you need a gender changer to connect it to the external SCSI connector. Could be this one: https://amigakit.amiga.store/female-dsub-db25-female-scsi-adapter-p-1290.html The Plus has no TermPower, so perhaps you need...
