An SE/30 should have a SuperDrive[0] so at the very least you should be able to write a 1.44MB floppy with a Disk Copy 4.2 image file, then restore the image to a 800K GCR diskette from the SE/30.
[0] The combo 400K/800K GCR & 1.44MB MFM 3.5" floppy drive, not the combo DVD/CD-RW drive when they recycled the name a decade later: https://www.siber-sonic.com/mac/superfloppy.html https://www.siber-sonic.com/mac/superfloppy.html
- gamache 6y agoSome SE/30's are upgraded SE's; these typically feature the original HD and floppy drive. I own one of these, though I upgraded those components in the late 90's.
- cable2600 6y agoIt is an upgraded SE with the logic board replaced. Same 800K floppy drive internal as an SE.
- Lammy 6y agoAh I see. You may be able to swap in a SuperDrive still since the SE/30 ROM supports it. I have a dual-800k SE without the FDHD ROM upgrade, so I feel your pain :)
