This is not your normal post. I have a probably one-of-a-kind ROM SIMM. When placed in my SE/30, a risk I took based on the age and shape of the ROM, it booted. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the operation with the SIMM clipped in. But the SIMM says Erickson ROM 1.04b, 6/19/90

You should be able to first check if its a 32 bit clean Rom first that will help narrow it down. I would bet it would be. Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2013 15:37:49 -0700 From: garriso...@yahoo.com To: vintage-macs@googlegroups.com Subject: Expert Vintage Member's Input Needed This is not your normal

I know I thought I actually said I needed the two roms and the swim. Must have been another message. I think it was 342-0701 hi 342-0702 low and some other god awful number to the swim. -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group. The list FAQ is

There's the home run I was looking for! Thanks, Dylan, you've earned your stripes in the knowledge department. Next phase of the dilemma would be, since the IIsi was already 32 bit clean, what was this experimental ROM SIMM intended to do? Guess I'd need a working IIsi to go there. Jeff

And BTW, I've had a number of IIsi Macs go through my hands over the years and have never seen ONE ROM SIMM in all the ones I've refurbished. Wonder if they're compatible? And why didn't the SE/30 complain when it was asked to boot with the SIMM in it's socket? Jeff

I gather that ROMs for 030 based Macs are backwards compatible to a fair degree, e.g. a IIcx can boot, 32 bit clean, from a IIsi ROM. - Jonathan Morton On 12 Aug 2013 03:51, J.S. Garrison garriso...@yahoo.com wrote: And BTW, I've had a number of IIsi Macs go through my hands over the years and

But like the IIfx, finding a ROM in the IIsi socket is like hen's teeth. Worse, I suspect, as I've never seen one in 19 years of Mac-collecting. Jeff From: Jonathan Morton chromati...@gmail.com To: vintage-macs@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2013

Well, I know they had the spring-clip for a ROM. The website, vectronicsappleworld.com, on it's IIsi page says: It may be possible to turn a Macintosh SE/30 into a clean 32-bit system by using a IIsi ROM SIMM. Thus, collectors are always on the look out for the presence of a IIsi ROM SIMM
