Harris Int’l 68030 upgrade card pulled from other SE. Replaced Power supply with a mean well unit following JDW (Youtuber's) directions, but messed up switch and had to switch to another switch which doesn't fit quite right.
The SE added two things the original compact Mac desperately needed: an expansion slot and a fan. The fan meant you could run it all day without the case reaching dangerous temperatures. The PDS expansion slot meant you could add an accelerator, a second CPU, or a hard disk controller. These small additions opened the compact Mac to serious professional use for the first time. This particular unit is running a Harris International 68030 upgrade card and has had the power supply replaced with a modern Meanwell unit.
