Cool, the second best 68k Mac. }🙂

But why all of the emphasis on No HD? You got a HD with it. They just gave you the opportunity to pick the one that you wanted off the shelf and install it yourself. Now try doing that at an Apple Store. 😉

Haha - It would've been a bonus if it had the HD in it. With the SCSI HDs there running for 20 cents per GB I guess I'm not going to complain 🙂

Your SE/30 seems like a good Mac. 😀

Ok, so the Quadra did in fact have RAM, just no HD. I added one and it's happily running 7.6.1.

Anyone know where I can get the floppy and CD drive bezels?

Probably just held down Shift a touch too long. When I'm moving from a capitalized two letter first word to an all-caps second word, I know I sometimes accidentally capitalize the entire first word.

Yeah I jumped the gun on the shift. I was too excited for getting all this stuff... ISU Surplus has been quite dry of vintage macs recently.
