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 an…
Every SE/30 I've worked with has used the Mac II chime. Also, the Classic II uses the LC chime. The only Macs that use the standard compact Mac chime are the 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plu…

It''s a non-serial mouse because the phased motion detection and mouse button lines are all wired in parallel and doesn't plug into the serial ports. Also the pins that the signals…
That "8088 Corruption" hack is pretty impressive, indeed! I admire the twisted mind(s) that conceived of, and executed, its development.
