Macintosh SE/30 - Living Up to a Legend | The Computer Hall of Fame

The SE/30 is a Macintosh that’s larger than life. It's hailed by many as one of the greatest Macs Apple ever made. So when I was offered one complete in box—for free—I couldn’t pass it up. But this machine spent 30 years stored in a basement. Was it functional or blown up by a battery bomb? Join me as I restore an SE/30 and go through its history and impact on Apple and computing at large.
