The sticking point is still the maximum 4MB of RAM, which makes running System 7.x, particularly 7.5 or later not much fun. If you want System 6 to fly, fair enough otherwise $130 might just buy an SE/30 logic board, which will fit into an SE case.
Exactly! That's really the biggest problem here - but if you can find an SE/30 board for $130 that would be the best bet, but as those machines keep going up in price, that's going to be a pretty tough price point to hit. Broken/non-working SE/30's are selling for > $200 on eBay.
Interesting, love seeing stuff about mods...even from awhile ago. Always gives me more ideas and not enough time.
Thank you for the mention, Jon!
Everyone needs more Ron's Computer Videos in their lives!
