Good news on the SE/30:
After a bit of tinkering with some jury rigged tools:
That hole is small, gotta do what you gotta do...
Anyway, the board looked alright overall, the battery was gone, no horribly distorted caps. All RAM slots filled, so it was at minimum a 2MB. After cleaning around all the caps with some alcohol, I pop'd the board back in minus the PDS card and... nothing... then I noticed why the battery was missing...
Apparently it went off like a bomb and tried to eat its way to the floppy drive. Oddly enough, no sign of this on the logic-board or lower pan. Anyway, I tried again, having reset the cables and ROM again and to my surprise, no more lines! I quickly made a 6.0.8 boot disk and popped it in, only to have it reject it. Facepalm, forgot to bless it - over to the duodock - bless folder - back to SE/30 - pop in disk - and VOILLA! (It turned out to be 32MB)
/notsurehwyitiscroppedlikethat, thank you imageshack...
ROM:
Why does it say 512k?
LB #:
And the ethernet card: (Asante of some sort)
