Well, the IIci is looking like a winner for the SE, barring a proper eyeballing, for the following reasons:

  • Boots System 6 [:D] ]'> to 7.6.1
  • Daystar '030/'040 PDS upgrades, with Quadra Overdrive for added insanity
  • 128MB max RAM
  • Onboard video - frees up a Nubus slot
  • fastest SCSI in the II series
  • 32-bit clean ROM
And last, but by no means least:

  • I have one :D

OTOH, the Quadra 700 logic fits in the same case.

Good:

  • Full '040 onboard
  • Ethernet onboard
  • 040 PDS
  • Better onboard video
Bad:

  • 68MB max RAM
  • Two Nubus slots, one inline with the PDS > :(
  • No System 6
  • Don't have one

I also don't have a 7100 logic to eyeball - I've passed on liberating several of them because I couldn't imagine a use for them . :?:

I have these greyscale SVGA 9" CRTs I could use, but that's going to cut down my internal space a heck of a lot, with or without the drop floor. So the next step is to try and find an affordable LCD. Greyscale would be fine - mono even.
