SE/30 and SE with a twist
Posted by: snuci on 2014-01-05 11:56:28
I got a couple of Macs. An SE/30 that has a bad hard drive and an SE (dual 800k) with an accelerator card. Both have 1MB of memory.

I need to dig into the SE/30 and replace the drive but the motherboard was flawless except for a thin layer of dust. I was pretty surprised.

The dual 800k SE, on the other hand, was purchased as a "parts machine" and other than some video flutter, it works fine. he case is a little worse for wear but it is acceptable. It had a sticker on the front that said "Speedcard SuperMac" and sure enough, there it was.

Here are some pics:

I will do some searching for what the card is (I think it's a 16Mhz accelerator) but if anyone has any info, I'd love to find out more. I wonder if it needs software to be enabled? I find it odd that a board like this is in a dual 800k machine with 1MB or memory.

I have another SE that was also was a parts machine but the rear bucket said it was a "single 800k with hard drive" but the second floppy face plate was cut out and it's missing the whole second floppy (if that was installed) and the hard drive, bracket and cables are non-existent too. I think I'll build that one up with this mother board but I'm missing the hard drive, bracket, cables and the over for the SE faceplate. Do these even exist? Does anyone have spare parts?

Thanks for looking.

it appears, it gives it the mac portable speed, an FPU and some cache memory.
