Anyone heard anything about the SE->SE/30 upgrade yet? For instance, price, whether or not the upgrade can be done in stages (i.e. logic board, then later FDHD drive, etc.).

Thanks, > Over here in the UK the prices are as follows: SE to SE/30 upgrade (no FDHD) 1125.00 pounds or 843.75 Education SE FDHD internal drive upgrade 425.00 pounds or 318.75 Education These prices are on a list from my local Apple Dealer. It is possible to get an SE to SE/30 upgrade without doing your internal floppy, and from the messages on this group people seem to think that unless you are going to be reading lots of IBM disks that it may well be better to forget about the FDHD upgrade - since you need (expensive) high-density disks to make and use of it.

Thanks, According to a MacWEEK I read recently it is a logic board upgrade for $1699 and the FDHD is available separately for $499. These prices are from somewhat fuzzy memory, so please check them out (or correct me if you know better). I assume, due to the SWIM, that you can only get a FDHD after the logic board swap. -cbb -- Chris Borton borton%uva@mcvax.{nl,bitnet,uucp} Rotary Scholar & Network Administrator, University of Amsterdam CS
