Check it out, 16Mhz of Cupertino inspired awesomeness! Not sure how much RAM, 40MB HD, even the optional ethernet port! Got it for only $40 today from a dude on my local Craigslist. He was gonna trash it if noone bought it, so I figured why not, might as well.

If anyone has any experience with these and can recommend a good place to get replacement battery cells so I can refurbish the battery, please chime in.
 
I'd rather get a backpack for my SE/30.

Edit: and a, that's not a spot for an ethernet port. Modem jack.

My computer teacher in 3rd grade had an SE with the optional CD-ROM drive, when I saw it I was like WTFZOMFGLOLZBBQ!!!! CD-ROMs were unheard of in the rural area where I was at the time, but my Dad had a computer engineer buddy that would always dump off a 286, then a 486, here and there, and I subscribed to the PC magazines of the early day (remember the magazines distributed on 3.5" floppies?), so I knew when I saw that CD-ROM on that SE, that there wuz sumthin special.
 
Yep, I actually still have quite a few floppies from those magazines. I got a HUGE moving box full of mac floppies.

Lol, I have got some 60ns SIMM's laying around somewhere for the mac...

I like how people talk about the 2-4ns ram on video cards these days.

No joke, ahh, the good ol days.
I'm seriously considering taking this beast to class one day and taking notes with it, just to see what my classmates' reaction will be.

If anyone wants to see old skool RAM upgrades, here it is:

And a modem that accesses data slower than your bottom end cell phone? Yup, got that too:

Hmm, does it actually work? I want to see pics of it running :)

I have a power adapter in the mail... :D
Trust me, once this sucker is up and running with engineer software from 1990, I'm gonna share it with the world. I wonder if they left any of their power grid engineering project files on it from work with the city of Spokane, WA. That would be cool, see the differences between then and now.
 
3.5" SCSI in a notebook...

Later Apple notebooks have 2.5" SCSI drives.
 
Anyone know where I can find Photoshop 1.0 (it is only 800k in size, heh), ClarisWorks, or any other fun software for this bad boy?
I did a quick look on Google and the links were either dead (most started back in like 1998, so I wasnt surprised they were dead), or useless.
 
I got Word 5.1, Excel 4.0, Couple versions of Clarisworks and word perfect. Cricketgraph, Prince of Persia, Glider, tons of little apps, Superpaint, COLOR it, macwrite/paint. Lots of DA's and other games.

EDIT: Lol, I think I still got a pirated copy of Vellum (Like $5000 CAD software in the day).
