Anyone know the real year of this vintage mac? I think that they are wrong.

I opened MacTracker and it says that the original release was either 87 or 89 depending on the model.

Looks like an SE/30 to me. 1989-1990.

8 Mhz :|.

imagine what we'll be saying in 15 years time! 3.0 Octo-core Mac Pro, oh how we'll laugh!

heh. No bids on his eBay auction. Then again, he was asking $300. I've seen mint 128k's go for less than that. (Without their box.)

I see SEs at Goodwill from time to time for $5, fully functional.

Oh, and it has two floppy slots, so it *HAS* to be an SE, not an SE/30. The lack of an "FDHD" or "SuperDrive" label under the "Macintosh SE" label means that it has low-density (800k) floppy drives, so it's 1987-1989. Not only is he overestimating its value, he's even underestimating its age.

Yup. Just to clarify:

• SE, 1 800K floppy drive + HDD (several sizes, starting at 20MB)
• SE, 2 800K floppy drives and no HDD
• SE, 1 1440K floppy drive + HDD (several sizes, don't remember starting size), labeled with "FDHD" on the outside.

All of these were 68000-based Macs with 8MHz CPUs.

• SE/30 - 1 1440K floppy drive + HDD (several sizes available, don't remember starting size)

The SE/30 had a 68030 running at 16MHz. The CPU was 32 bit, but the ROMs contained some 24 bit code, and required Connectix "Mode32" control panel to enable 32 bit mode.
