Surprising how expensive these were. Apparently the original price for this was around $4k - maybe $9k modern eqv. 128MB of RAM would have been insanely spendy

128MB of RAM would have been insanely spendy in 1989. Somewhere around $30k modern eqv.
So the total equivalent cost would be as much as a higher spec Mac Pro.

- kalleboo 5y agoIn 1989, supercomputers came with 512 - 2048 MB of RAM
- tambourine_man 5y agoI meant RAM sticks that would fit on a SE
- amatecha 5y agoWhen the SE/30 came out it could only address up to 8mb of RAM anyways due to the 24-bit ROM. I think you could either swap the ROM from IIfx or IIsi (which came out the next year), or use the MODE32 INIT[0] which I believe required System 7 and came out in 1991, two years after the release of the SE/30. I guess 128mb of RAM would have been a bit cheaper by then... hopefully haha [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODE32 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODE32
