I can't vouch for this website, but they sell 16MB SIMMs for just $5.99
each: http://store.powmem.net/1630pinsimfo.html

managed to spot 4 x 16MB SIMMs on eBay.co.uk, but there actually seem to
be more (consistently) available

Hi Gary,
I just bought eight sticks of 16 MB RAM for my SE/30 from We Love Macs
( http://www.lovemacs.com ). The cost was $14 per stick. I didn't
find anyone less expensive.
The memory just arrived on my doorstep today, and I'll be installing it
this weekend.

I was under the impression Mac always tread floppy disks, when
inserted at startup, as the startup disk. Is this different with the
hd20
Isn't the HD20 that old hard drive that connects to the floppy port? If so,
I think it can be seen by the system ROM as an external floppy. And then, we
would have to see which drive (internal or external) has preference if both
are available for boot...

Hello All,
Not long ago I read in this digest that by pressing on the mouse knob
during startup one could avoid the endless RAM testing. Tried it but it
doesn't work for me. Startup still takes 3 minutes 20 seconds.

I've found that by holding Shift down untill the happy mac goes away, I can
avoid the ram test and still end up loading all extentions... but mode32
fails to actually initialize, so your milage may vary with this trick.

were too tall and the motherboard would not slide back into position?

If you can't find the 16MB SIMMs you want the El Cheapo way, try
to get 30 pinn SIMMs for your SE/30 at
www.computersurplus.com
very cheaply. I maxed out serveral se/30's to 128 no problem.. :)
