O M G. It actually booted! #macse30 #retrocomputing Now I need to find a mouse and some ADB cables.
Not so lucky on the rust. A bit more extensive than thought. Will be lucky if this boots, and that serial port is toast. #macse30 #retromac #retrocomputing
The card in the SE/30 is a Shiva Etherport with thicknet and coax connectors. Score! Hope it works. #retromac #retrocomputing #macse30
MacEffects announces a new 68030 accelerator for the Mac SE/30. I shouldn't want one, but I do…

My latest post documents my experience using the MacBatt on two compact Macs, with a request for a solution to a dilemma.
Had to fire up this beauty for a little hit of nostalgia. #retrocomputing #macSE30
The Mac SE/30 had a 256 Kb ROM, that was expandable to 2MB. And Now is wonder if someone, somewhere is trying to create a 2MB ROM, with a boot file-system system like the Mac Classic had… #retrocomputing #macse30 #classicmac
Do you like Pixel Art and Classic Macs and Exploded Technical Drawings?
Check out this exploded view of the Mac SE/30 from the HyperCard Service Manual of the time.
Nothing is what it seems:
Here’s a Mac SE/30 shell with a Pimoroni display (HDMI out), with two gutted Apple 3.5” floppy drive shells, holding assorted SSDs.
(The internals of both floppy drives are toast. The SE/30 logic board, picture tube, etc are safely stored in tupperware in my garage, looking for a new home.)
Unleash the flying toasters! #macse30 #flyingtoasters
Finally took the time this evening to make a null modem cable for the //c I have in my collection, expressly because the green screen tube monitor on it seemed ideal as a terminal to my IMSAI 8080 (which also acts as a terminal to the Altair 8800 below it). I need to tie in the PDPs as well. Shown running Zork 1. #retrocomputing #imsai #altair8800 #pdp11 #pdp8 #apple2c #macse30
Aldus PageMaker (1985) marked the beginning of desktop publishing, and in conjunction with it, Apple's Macintosh computers were the standard for many years. In 1994, Adobe acquired Aldus and now offers InDesign for desktop publishing purposes.
Does anyone have an ethernet card for an SE/30 that they would be willing to part with for less than an arm and a leg? I just can't justify paying more for the network card than I paid for the computer. #macse30 #retrocomputing
I got all the stuff to recap my SE/30 mainboard, analog board, and power supply. I also got my hands on 128MB of memory (woo!) and a 32bit-clean ROM. Now I just need to find a day to sit down, dissasemble everything, and replace all those caps! I also need to get my hands on a BlueSCSI v2 internal once @KayKoba has some in stock. #macse30 #retrocomputing
Disassembled my new Mac SE/30 today. It is in shockingly good condition. I removed the battery, but there was no sign of capacitor or battery explosion that I could see. I do have one chip, however, that looks like it has some corrosion on its leads, but I couldn't tell where that had come from. #macse30 #macintosh #retrocomputing
Well, I found one on Yahoo Auctions that's close enough that I can go pick it up directly rather than having it shipped, so I got it. Looks like it boots up and the monitor works at least, so we'll see how it looks up close when I get a hold of it. #macse30 #retrocomputing
Anyone in Japan, especially in the Tokyo area, have a Mac SE/30 they're willing to part with? #macse30 #retrocomping
The first Mac I ever owned was an SE/30 that I got in my second year of college. I got an amazing amount of work done on that silly little thing.
