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
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.)
My Retro-Computer Journey - let's start with my Ohio Scientific Challenger 4P. I got this given to me by an older fellow who was getting rid of all his stuff. It had the MOS 6502 processor in it and I kept it for several years but really didn't do much with it. I wound up donating it to a computer museum in the end. Interesting machine for sure!
My Retro-Computing Journey - I also had the SE's big brother: the Macintosh SE/30. This computer was quite the power house for its time. Unfortunately my example eventually died with motherboard failure and I gave it to a friend that was able to revive it!
