Recapped and cleaned logic board. Missing Expansion slot bracket Added BlueSCSI internally. Floppy tested to read disks.

Historical Notes

Widely considered the greatest compact Mac ever made. The SE/30 packed a 16 MHz 68030 and 68882 FPU into the same case that started with the 128K in 1984 — and ran circles around most of the Mac II line despite fitting in a smaller box. With MODE32 it could address up to 128MB of RAM. The last of the original compact form factor, and definitively the best.
