Scored myself a SE/30 for $5 + a 160mb scsi harddisk. [😀] ]'>

SE/30 has a 40mb harddisk + 5mb of ram. Had to reformat the drive since the partition table was messed up :'( - otherwise its a great little machine.

Now to find myself a Torx-T15 screwdriver. Any decent places in NZ for that?

With an ethernet card I believe. Well done.

I got mine from Dick Smiths, however the screws under the handle need a long handle. I removed the rubber coating off the handle of the screwdriver to get it under the handle, if that makes sense. 😉

On the other side of the Tasman from you I've never seen Torx-15 one-piece drivers with the requisite 22-cm shank (or more) for sale in hardware shops. What you may be able to find is a loose Torx-15 bit (they exist) that fits onto a long shank with a hexagonal end designed for replaceable bits. You may be able to kludge something together with such a bit and a length of hexagonal rod. It may even be worth your while to prowl around eBay shops (for example) for one of the combined Torx-15 drivers with an attached 'case cracker' for Classic AIOs. Rots of ruck.

Jaycar have this extending screwdriver with 6 heads that extends out to just long enough IIRC. You'd need to buy the Torx head(s) separately.
