I have a 20 MB for sure and maybe a 40 MB. I have to look, I got them from a couple of beat up SE/'s so I could get the CRT out for my SE/30. I'm in the process off moving so I may take me a few days. If you send me you adress I'll send you one. They are to small for my SE/30.
I'm assuming that you have not opened the SE yet so let me give you a few tips, and there is plenty of info on line. When you take it apart be very careful whit the CRT connection it is very easy to break. You pretty much have to open it with a very long Torx 15 screw driver (or make one whit a bit, some one used sueper glue and a straw), then you need to pull the power cables from the mother board (there is a little hole for you to push the back of the cable so it unclips), slide it out and before completely pulling it, pull the speaker cable so you can un-bolt the drives. The common opinion is that the CRT needs to be discharged, you will find plenty of posts on line on how to do it if you just goggle discharge CRT. And you will find a few that say that it is not necessary. It is a bit intimidating the first time but it gets easy after a few triesl My email is [email protected] Hope this helps Abel On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 1:37 PM, pcguru83 <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi guys, new to the Vintage Mac group--looking forward to > participating here as I attempt to get my newly acquired Macintosh SE > FDHD in fully working condition. :-) > > As I said, I acquired a (mostly) working Macintosh SE FDHD over the > weekend.
