If you're a collector of compact Macs, this is pretty close to a "holy grail" item.
It's an original Macintosh SE/30 that has 2 rare upgrades: 1. Daystar Powercache SE/30 40mHz CPU upgrade with 40mHz FPU: This is the version of the Powercache accelerator that plugs into the CPU socket on the logic board, leaving the PDS slot free for other upgrades. It runs great and is pretty darn fast (for a 030 chip). I also have the original box and docs for the Daystar card, including the original 68030 chip that was pulled from the SE/30. This is the only accelerator you can use and still be able to use the Xceed cards for greyscale 2. Micron's Xceed greyscale card with the PDS color card (Color30) that allows for display of 256 shades of grey on the internal screen as well as allowing for 256 color display on an external monitor (though you can't display 8-bit graphics on both screens at the same time, 1 of them has to be set to black and white). These are really rare and hard to find. This is an original Micron card set, not one of the clone cards that was manufactured later (around 2000, I think). II don't have any of the materials for the Xceed cards, but the manuals and software are available (if you search a bit) online. The RAM has been upgraded to 80MB and it still has the original 40MB internal hard drive (which is working great). Even the drive activity light on the front panel works correctly. It is currently running Mac OS 7.5.5, and the monitors control panel works with the Xceed card transparently, no special drivers required. The Powercache control panels/extensions are installed as well. The condition of the Mac SE/30 is very good. No cracks on the case, no burn-in on the screen. Everything works great, and it boots up with no issues. The screen is nice and bright, the sound works great, etc. The case is moderately yellowed. I'm sure you could disassemble and lighted the plastics with one of the methods documented online, but I've decided against that as I've also read that it can weaken the plastic. Again, the case appearance is overall very good, but it's not the original "platinum grey". I've had this SE/30 since 1998, and it's been in storage for the last 6-7 years. I've pulled it out every year or 2 just to make sure everything is still working. It's clear I'm not going to set this up to use anytime soon, so I've decided to see if there is interest in it. I'm hoping that this will go to another serious collector, so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, etc. It will come with an Apple ADB mouse and keyboard. I'm not interested in parting it out, so please don't ask. I'm asking $500 (or best reasonable offer) for the system including shipping in the USA. International shipping would be extra. It will be well packed and shipped via USPS. Hal Widlansky Salt Lake City, UT 84108 -- You received this message because you are a member of the LEM Swap group.
