Upgrade SE to superdrive; which parts has to be swapped?

[ioncehadamac]

I do know that the hardware is different between a SE and a SE with the superdrive, but I can't find exactly what has to be chaged.

At the moment I have 3 machines sitting on my bench, and I am making a good one out of the 3 parts One of them has a Superdrive; the logic board is not working, so I can eventually take parts out of it and transfer them on the vanilla working SE, to use a superdrive, right?

Which parts should I get, beside the drive?

• ROM HIGH
• ROM LOW
• IWM
• Floppy drive

That's it. Be careful not to bend the pins when removing the chips and put them back the way they used to be: notch towards the front of the machine, opposite to the ports! Otherwise it will fry both the ROMS and the board.

Thanks!

Rom high and low I think I know how to find them, but what about the IWM? Not sure what that is

then again , if you wanted to do that , you could put the motherboard in a se/30 (ive done this to my se/30) it  will work fine if you have extra se/30s

Well, if I had an SE/30, I would use that They are more expensive than the regular SE, and from what I read, more prone to caps leaking, so I am OK with a slower model; but the 1.44 floppy is much needed to get data in and out the machine.
