The SE/30 has a 16MHz 68030. The SE has an 8MHz 68000. The only reason an SE would have a 68020 is if it has an accelerator installed (a very hot item in it's day). SEs were frequently identified as SE-20 or SE/20, these were SEs with a 20Mb HD (the other options were dual floppies or 40Mb HD). I don't thing any were identified on the case by Apple as an SE-20 though. If it is an accelerated SE then I can't say what the RAM capacity is, it's dependent on the particular accelerator. A stock SE takes 256K or 1Mb 30 pin SIMMs, two at a time. It has two banks of two and maxes out at 4Mb. An SE/30 takes 256K, 1Mb, 4Mb or 16Mb 30 pin SIMMs, 4 at a time. It has two banks of four and maxes out at 128Mb, or so I'm told (20Mb is the most I've put in one). Check Apple for manuals <http://www.apple.com/support>. I kind of doubt though that they have these up but they might. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
