Description

The Macintosh SE/30 was the fastest of the initial black and white compact Macintosh line. It was also the most expandable. As shipped it could have up to 8MB of RAM, however, it could be expanded to 128MB. The Macintosh SE/30 had an internal hard drive of 40-80MB and a single, high-density disk drive. The Motorola 68030 processor was capable of speeds of up to 16MB

History

The Macintosh SE/30 basically took many of the key features of the Macintosh IIx and put them in the all-in-one case of the Macintosh SE. It sold for $6500.

The Macintosh SE/30 was so named because of the new processor. Other models had added an “x” the name, however, with the Macintosh SE, Apple did not want to give it the model name “SEx.” Because of this, it was named the SE/30.
