an SE30, LC, IIci, and a 603 variety mac just... lying around.
Are these things as common as dirt, or should I snag them?
SE/30s are people's favourite Classic Macs because they're small and pretty
zippy for the time (16MHz '030). You can put a crapload of RAM into them and
I'm surprised by this statement; I despise the SE/30s because they run TOO fast
and are an '030 -- both of which are a deadly combination for trying to get old
games to run. The 16MHz is too fast, but just in case, the '030's cache
completely screws up any self-modifying code tricks.
