This is a Kit, the pictured computer is not included. I can not take responsibility if you accidentally injure yourself or cause damage to your computer during the installation process. If you are at all uncomfortable with the procedures to install this kit, please seek a qualified individual to perform the installation for you. Installation instructions and updates can be found on github, please review before purchase.
Note: Apple designed the SE/30 to install one well-behaved PDS card. I've found that every combination of 2 cards I was able to test worked, though a good quality recapped & adjusted PSU is absolutely essential. Additional cards may work - I found most combinations of Accelerator + Grayscale + Ethernet were OK - but I can't guarantee every combination of cards out there will work.Card has been has been tested with Asante MacCon, Radius FPD, Shiva Etherport, Fallaron TP594, SEthernet/30, Micron Xceed Color 30HR, Interware GrandVimage, Carrera 040, Interware Booster 30-SE50F, DiimoCache 030, Bolle Ethernet Riser and various ROM SIMMs across multiple different SE/30s. At this point no compatibility issues are known.Thanks for looking. Feel free to ask me questions!
