| Garage sale find |
Posted by: elbaroni on 2008-11-22 12:40:00
I was driving a friend home yesterday. Drove past a garage sale sign but decided not to stop. Turns out it was a crescent road and there was a second garage sale — we figured we may as well. They were just packing up, but in the corner half hidden by a box of shite was an unmistakable shape. I pulled it out and it was an SE/30. "How much do you want?" asked I. "What do you want to give me for it?" garage sale man replied. "$5?" Done. Awesome.

Sore o' the week, possibly the month.
Course we can't count iMac600's free C2D iMac, because snopes.com said it never happened.

What are the specs on your new SE/30?

Awesome! Especially for five bucks.

What are the specs on your new SE/30? 8 Core Intel Xeon WoodCrest, 16GB of ram, and 2TB hard drive.
:O

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't even plugged it in yet. I'll do so tonight.
Apparently the guy bought it second hand for about $2k, but I think it was fairly recently (like 1995 or something). I'm hoping that means it's been tricked out a little, but we'll see.
Nothing in the expansion slot as far as I can tell from the back, although that isn't necessarily definitive.

I *finally* got around to checking it out. Nothing special, sadly: 8/80, although with the original hard disk. System 7.5 running, a bunch of not terribly interesting software on board. Nothing in the expansion slot.

I should also say that I got horizontal SimasiMac lines the first time I turned it on — I cycled the power and she booted. Still, my fourth SE/30. I can set up a really over-powered bolo network! Are there any other 68k b/w capable games for network play?

I have Carmen Sandiago games and Oregon Trail 1 on my IIsi running 7.0.1, So I think it would work for you.

I guess after 3 SE/30's the thrill wears off? I only have 2 so I guess I need one more then 😉

Ooh, Spectre. Didn't think of that. Awesome - I'm setting that up tonight.
