Ok, my Macintosh SE is up and running now with a mouse, hard-drive, and a scsi zip drive I snagged off eBay for a cool $14 shipped. Aside from not having a PRAM battery for the thing yet (I have removed the Maxwell time bomb a few weeks ago. 
), there are no issues I'm having. I created a thread in the conquests section that shows off this SE. If I encounter any issues specific to this machine, I will post again here. 
By the way, anyone know of a way of converting a wav file to a snd file? (the sound files MacOS uses). I want to try and put in a custom beep sound for MacOS. As I understand it, the beep sounds in the sound control panel are stored in the System file. I can easily drop new ones in, but I need to find a way of generating new ones.
The format is pretty old and none of the audio converters I have have any idea how to convert to such an obsolete sound format. Perhaps some basic audio program for MacOS 7 that will run on my SE might be able to do it. I can convert the file locally on the SE if I have to.
The audio file I want to use is really short like the other ones, so I don't expect any problems using it on this machine. The SE doesn't have the Apple Sound Chip like the 030 based SE/30, so that might limit my choices of audio playback conversion if I were to try it locally on the SE.
