Macintosh SE/30 - The Movie

[BilisNegra]

Music "score" is no bad, I toght at first... But then I realised that more than half the vid consists of "credits" BOOOOOOOORING!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hiraghm]

I had an SE I converted into an SE/30, maxed the memory, added an ethernet card... the traded it in for some other computer hardware. I wish I still had it, and am searching for an SE/30 now.

[glowcode]

I had one of these :) and I'm only 16. My first hard drive was 4MB, now it's 1TB!

[SpendorintheCrass]

My first computer was a Macintosh SE/30. I purchased it around 1990 and used it regularly until the mid 90s when I finally put it in storage.

It was still in its original box.... until today. I unpacked it, set it up, plugged it in, and flipped the power switch. It took about 10 minutes to show the desktop, but it did work!!

[MarkMphonoman]

Love it. I have an SE/30 that I write articles with and just recently hooked it to an Apple Stylewriter II and printed out its first Word document in over 20+ years. Fun.

[agentjs09]

Mac OS 9 is the best operating system ever made.

[MrBigturdball]

I have an SE 30 back home. Just for kicks i would like to replace the screen and mess around with it, just for old times sake. Anyone have any information on where i can buy a new screen?

[MichaelTurnerATL]

[returnofbeaux]

@MichaelTurnerATL spectre supreme.

[MichaelTurnerATL]

@returnofbeaux Thanks!

[berguvan]

good performance computer SE/30

[chrisnotbad]

Ahhh the trusty SE/30. I never had a better feeling buying a computer, than when I got my used SE/30 in 1996 at 16. A great computer, and the most advanced compact mac of it's era aside the ultra rare impossible to find Color Classic II. I had a dual monitor setup on my SE/30 using a rasterops 24 bit video card which in it's circa of use(1989)was unheard of to have such a setup with a home computer. I even installed Os 8.1 on it. An os that came out almost ten years after the SE/30 was designed!

Awhhh! GREAT video. GREAT voice if I must say so myself.

I worked there '80-'97 - mouse and Macintosh Basic tutorials.

[THEtechknight]

yea i got a set of ROMs for the superdrive SE FDHD series. board died long ago with a checkerboard pattern of death. (means the VLSI initted, but no command from MCU recieved)

[FelisCatusLover]

That music reminds me of the good Resident Evil games, the ones before 4.

[warblood123]

could you put sys 9.0 on it?

[Meganeo5]

No, it's not possible. Mac OS 9 is only for PowerPC and the SE is 68k.

[warblood123]

ok ty

[comfortbeaitng]

Yes, you was able to get "Superdrive upgrade kit" for older SE, as well.

[caseyjoe503]

look at the bright side,you didnt get a color classic.

[Lillagurkan]

Yay viewer 9999 / 10000Visningar: 9999

Good movie.

[siriusgamer]

retarded shit

[vintagemacs]

Apple Computer Inc!!!!! Not Apple Computers!!! It's not even Apple Computer Inc. anymore. In January 2007 they reincorporated as Apple Inc.

[Tito0096]

STFU. . . .

[vintagemacs]

Hey don't give me that. I only present the facts and the facts are there is no such company as Apple Computers Inc. As I said before, it's been Apple Inc. for over a year!!

[caseyjoe503]

this video was posted in 2006...

[marceloyanez111]

best part of the video is the song anyway nice mac i have one too! i got it for free because a computer store went out of business

[Voldemortkein]

Geart mac, ahhh, and the music "Moonlight Sonata" of Beethoven.

Thanks for remember this things.

[somefreak90]

I bought one of those for $1 at a garage sale. It has the earliest version of Microsoft Office on it I've ever seen. Apparently whoever owned it before I bought it used it until 1997, because that's when the dates when they saved items stopped. It's a mystery to me why they didn't upgrade sooner.

[Vyggy]

I bought a Macintosh SE with a 20 Megabyte hard disk (I think) from a used computer shop for 8€. The shop wiped the hard disk and the machine uses 800k floppies, I have 15 1,4 mb floppies that dont work in the machine. I should get a program in a few days time on 800k floppy disk, and then we see does it really work. Now I only get the picture of a disk with a ? in it.

[OwlMovieStudios]

Does the SE/30 support 1.44 MB ones?

[godanli]

OwlMovieStudios,

The disc drive in the legendary SE/30 was called "Superdrive" (just as the Apple DVD-burners of today). It could read and write "HD-floppy discs", 1,44 MB. The older Macintosh SE could just use 400K/800K discs, but it is possible later SE´s got the Superdrive too.

[OwlMovieStudios]

Thanks ;)

[lanyueh]

wow...

I remember this Mac

I used to use it back in...uhh...kindergarden

ahaha

[Dantendo1122]

omfg!! that was the first computer i ever used! and the first video game i played (prince of persia) was on this system!!!!

[brettshears]

Oh this is sad, I mean in a boo hoo way not a jerk way I remember them

[Hammid]

Beautiful video.. I grew up starting with Macintosh LC =) .. I love Mac... Love it..

[dexx2233]

ahh, beautiful movie, and music :'(

i still have my mac SE/30 and after this movie i will never give it away ;-)

[Agumon6533]

I will never give my classic away. ;)

[macosxlepord]

better than an IBM lol

[no1yankfan]

Goodbye Computer for the rest of us. (old advertiseing slogon) And goodbye Mac OS 9. The best computers. The good years: 1978-end of mac os 9

[joness105639]

amen. I miss the beep that the 512k made when it booted, and the noise the disk drive made. I grew up with OS6. I find OS 1 fascinating. I'd like to ressurect my quadra 950, have it run os 7 and type papers on it.

[karatedavid]

DUMB.

[areadenial]

So.. I see you going about criticizing other videos, yet all this video contains is someone booting an SE/30, with boring editing?

The only good thing about this video is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, which is a beautiful song, not a boring song for a boring video.

[notascrub2002]

Boring!!!

[rhsxo]

The goal of this video when I made it all those months ago was to show the starting up of a classic Macintosh. There are still alot of people that only know OS X, and nothing about the classic enviroment.

[magicianspirit]

Great little machine perhaps, but not much point to this video.

[musicforanna]

*drools* That was one of the most nostalgic Macs ever made, EVER! We had an SE/30!!

[shanebroughton]

Macs rule!

[feet77]

Beethoven makes anything beautiful..

[kittytom200x]

This one was my favorite, but I had a SE/FDHD

[Dufma]

No one can resist a Macintosh

[rhsxo]

That is true. That SE/30 is such a great little machine.
