I was driving away from a job site and spotted a platinum deposit from the corner of my eye and managed to pull over and back up to check it out. Nestled in between compactor bags on the top row of a huge pile at the curb on 75th Street was a forlorn 7100/80av/Miniscule SCSI HDD/16MB RAM/ROM SIMM & Cache SIMM, AV card and CD, everything intact and it booted right up when I tested it in the shop! Lots of interesting software on it to catalog too!SCORE!!!!! 
I was on a roll, because I stopped at the local thrift store and the $20 SE/30 was still there, so I tested it, seemed to have a dead analog board so I walked away with a FREEBIE and grabbed an 88MB SyQuest drive from the pile of junk they were tossing today. I couldn't carry the IIvx that was lying there, but I really don't want one of those pathetic things anyway. There was a 7200 lying there too, but one PPC liberation in a day is enough!
The SE/30 seems to be a deader tho, I tried it in my SE and got what looked like pinstripes on the display. dunno, the luck wasn't all good, you can now add me to the list of people who've broken the card and the seal off the end of a 9" Compact's CRT (the burnt in SE/30 CRT, NOT my SE's!)
Now I just need a SyQuest Cart! :Rolleyes:

My PowerMac AV card is all lonely, it has a logic board, but no PSU to drive it.
