You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it was worth asking, just in case.

Seeing how the SE/30 is basically a Mac IIx stuffed in a compact case, I don't think it's likely there have ever been SE/30's with the classic chime. More likely you didn't make any real distinction between the different chime sounds years ago, which is why in your memories they all sounded the same. It's quite easy to understand how someone might not notice the difference in sound quality, if you're not all that interested in the technical details of the machines.
Well, not making a distinction between the classic chime and the Mac II chime, even for the 11 years old I was at the time, is highly unlikely, since I was already the same geek back then than today. ::) but it's been at least 17 years ago.

Thanks for your replies!
