I have a Mac SE and I intend to upgrade it to a color machine. However, I can't make up my mind as to which route I should take. Should I try to upgrade my SE to the SE/30 and then later buy a 8-bit color board for the '30 direct slot in the SE/30, or should I sell my 1 meg SE and try to buy a Si? It seems that the price difference is not significant since I'll need to shell out money for the video card anyway if I choose to upgrade my SE to a SE/30. But I would need a math coprocesser if I decide to buy a Si. What do you people think? Has anyone out there actually have done the SE to SE/30 upgrade? What is the cost? Does the upgrade include memory increase and conversion of the 800k disk drives to FD/HD drives? What if I have dual 800k drives? Do I get 2 super- drives in return? What if I take out one of the 800k drives and sell it? Would I still get a superdrive since I would still have one 800k drive left? Please send your response to me via e-mail. Thanks in advance.
