I think Apple has shot itself in the foot. -- How much would *YOU* pay for an SE/030 upgrade and the 1.44Mb floppy in your machine? -- What if I said you *get* *to* THROW AWAY your MacSE expansion card(s), *NOW* how much would you pay? -- And if what I threw in a pair of ginsu knives?!?!?!? I bet that Apple won't ever announce an SE/030 upgrade, or if they do, then they won't sell many. We know the MacII has Nubus, well the SE has NoBus! And now the SE/030 has NoBus2! And NoBus != NoBus2!!! Apple has made the same mistake as IBM! And the blunder comes right after they watched IBM falter! People resist PS/2's & the microchannel bus partly because they must throw away their AT/XT cards. Now people can resist the SE/030 for the same reason! Really, I thought Apple would be smart enough to avoid getting into this pickle. Is this the end of upgrades for SE-class machines?
