I spent a little time with my first SE/30 and I ended up with:
A Daystar - full '040 with a faster oscillator clock - I run mine at
44Mhz.
I use an original Daystar SE/30 adapter, plus an Asante ethernet.
128Mb of RAM doesn't make a huge difference.
The new/bigger/faster HD probably was a better

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies. My motivation for the first post was that I
am considering installing System 8.1 on the system, but the system is
noticably slower with 7.5.5 on it. I'm not looking for the unit to be
super fast, but at least similar to the speed of having System 6 on
the SE/30.
At least have the decency to run Linux on that box.

Hmm. Maybe a little clarification is in order about the purpose of SE/30
upgrades? Long philosophical post follows ...sorry (there's always the
delete key option, after all).
There's a subtle difference going on when we speak on the subject of
upgrading
vintage hardware ...whether that
Less than a dollar a meghttp://www.ramseeker.com is the usual place
that looks at several vendors. System 7.1 might serve your purpose for
speed and still be somewhat 'modern'. 32MB might be an optimal amount,
depending on your needs.

Hi
The difference are subtle or semantic, but they do have their
distinctness. I agree to a point that most of this exercise in
'neo-luddite quixotianism' is to run vintage software better, but
little by little, the window closes. Floppies 'wear' out, internet
standards change, replacement
