Macintosh SE Superdrive - February 19, 2024

This is my very first vintage computer. I purchased it from the original owner, who said it had worked just a few days before I picked it up. By the time we bought it, the internal Maxell battery had exploded and destroyed much of the logic board, but we were determined to make it run again. I eventually got the machine running on its original logic board, but I decided to replace it anyways for sake of reliability in the future. The machine is now fully recapped and serviced, and gets a good amount of use thanks to the BlueSCSI V2 giving it a new hard drive and networking capabilities. I use it quite a bit to telnet to my server and even view my website. Updated 8/14/2025
