If anyone finds a stash of these... count me in :-)
Heh. Typically, $300 - $500 on the rare occasions when they do show up on
Ebay. I want one too...but not that much.
I don't remember the exact URL, but google on Gamba SE/30 to get to a page
with much discussion about this card. There are also a number of threads
about it in the forums at
68kmla.net (68K Macintosh Liberation Army;
rescuers of old, abandoned and unwanted 68K based Macintoshes). Some
other discussion at applefritter.com's forums.
The book the poster on the other related thread is probably thinking about
is Larry Pina's "Macintosh Repair and Upgrade Secrets", which Tony
probably disapproves of. :-) Pina discusses and recommends replacement
of components based on the items which, in his experience, most often lead
to certain symptoms. He does not discuss doing an actual probe and
diagnosis to determine the failed component, which is why I good naturedly
refer to Tony's disapproval.
There are a couple of later variants on the above book, such as "Macintosh
II Repair and Upgrade Secrets", "Mac Classic and SE: Repair and Upgrade
Secrets", etc. These sometimes go for ridiculous sums on Ebay as well,
but are often available at Amazon or other used book sites for very
reasonable prices. At the moment "The Dead Mac Scrolls" are starting at
over $100 on Amazon, but if the past is a guide, it will show up for under
$20 if you wait around a while.
