A friend of mine is considering buying a used SE/30 (4M RAM, 80M HD -
standard Apple configuration). He is concerned about the unreliable
Quantum drives in older Macs. Did this problem affect SE/30s? How
can he find out if this is an affected machine (e.g., date of manufacture,
serial number?) I believe Apple had a free repair for this (a replacement
ROM in the controller) - right?
