WOW. I don't think it special, but I'll not know until I open it up. Outside appearances are all normal as best I can tell, but then I've not looked at one for years. It's got all the standard plugs, but there's a cover plate above the serial number about 3/4" high by 4" long and it's color is "off" and don't quite match the rest of the case. I'm also suspicious of it since the screen has a slight "shifting" to it. At first I thought it was just something going bad inside, and most likely is, but now I'd like to confirm. There's also no programs or startup extensions that look related to video. Ok, I'm game. How can I open it without a case cracker or where can I get one? Is it just a matter of getting an extra long torc screwdriver? Oh, and I was off on a couple things. Was there a model that was just SE? That's what it says on the front, but I assumed it was a SE/30 as that is what I used to use many years ago. It's also running System 6.0.8 with 4MB ram on a 13MB HD. I can't find any real diagnostic tools on here, and have to dig through my old disks to find something that could maybe give some details on it. I also know it was in use in an elementary school up until Dec 2002 as I found student files on it still. Good to see it's had a long and useful life. Hopefully I can extend that even further. One last question: Are the keyboard and mouse "hot swappable"? Since I have 4 Macs and only two sets of keyboards/mice, can I unplug them and plug them when the Macs are on? -Justin -Ryandor -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
