Will any 16mhz 32bit 68030 work in a Macintosh SE/30?
Probably a silly question, but I am confused. I'm looking for a replacement and the available exact match (MC68030RL-16B) is less available and more expensive than the other 68030 processors I have found.
I see MC68030RC-16B and MC68030FE-16C and MC68030RC-16C to name a few, but I am not sure of compatibility or differences amongst the varieties.

Any speed above 16Mhz that's RC will work (FE is surface mount); a higher speed unit will run well at 16Mhz. | Posted by: GreenBar0n on 2026-01-09 19:40:43
I just bought an NOS MC68030RC33B, for an SE/30, from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/371776928912
I offered him $30 and he took it - might try offering less and see if he'll haggle. Fast shipping, no complaints. | Posted by: mst3k on 2026-01-10 04:22:47
