Huxley Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Howdy guys, Looking to boost the RAM in my current SE/30 project - could someone please confirm that this RAM is a good fit for an SE/30 before I pull the ol' PayPal trigger? Also, if anyone here snipes me on this auction a tidal wave of leaking-capacitor karma shall descend upon you... Thanks! Edited December 31, 2016 by Huxley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
360alaska Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 That should work but why not just get this: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/hard to beat new! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huxley Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 That should work but why not just get this: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/hard to beat new! A great suggestion and I do love OWC / MacSales, but one of the comments specifically mentions needing to bend the SE/30's frame to fit those RAM sticks... makes me a smidge nervous...

Reasons. Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I got 68 MB in mine just fine using those. I think it's just an issue with having it in both banks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huxley Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the OWC / MacSales RAM - I'll take "new and under warranty" over "a little cheaper and in who-knows-what condition"... Thanks for the suggestion 360alaska! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogopuffs Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I know it's late, but SE/30 (and other Macs using 30 pin memory!) does not care about parity or non-parity memory and often parity memory can be had reasonably cheaply. I bought this and was very pleased at the quality, warranty, and price: https://www.18004memory.com/16mb-60ns-fpm-30pin-simm.asp?l3id=842 There's also an eBay ad for them but it's at a higher price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330590859970 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unity Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I would never get the eBay ones. I am very certain someone on here did and they did not work and on one or more some of those caps blew. This is referring to the first eBay link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
