It has been difficult to get any decent pictures of this nice pile of boards. The chips and connectors made them not flat enough for my scanner. Then I finally found my crappy old digital camera - but either it or its batteries are borked. So I photographed the stuff with my phone, and the results are not as detailed as I would like.
The Quesse upgrade was shipped to me attached to its host SE logic board. The blue card is a DPD card which was included, one of the connector pins is broken and will be replaced once I can find some here. The PCBs on the angled metal bit with the jacks are obviously the video output. The Quesse upgrade and Lapis DPD cards are both very bowed. The Quesse has a 40 MHz crystal on board and a 20 MHz 68030. The smaller socket next to it I am sure is for a 20 MHz 68882. But the other socket? There is another large socket to the left of the 030 with a different pinout, no idea what it is for. Under this board is a large socket which looks like it could drop into a 68000 socket, maybe an upgrade option for Macs without a PDS?
Nice deal, being basically a complete 030 computer for $21, needing only a disk drive, PSU, and monitor. I would be grateful if anybody can explain or point out more information about any of this stuff. I will try to post better pics when I can.
