Subject: Mac SE to ‘030 SE Upgrade
Is there any validity to the rumor concerning the possible (or should I say alleged)
Mac SE to Mac SE 030 upgrade via a new motherboard? My guess is that it will not be
available before late ’89, and will cost about $500 more than Apple would charge for a
new SE 030 minus the cost of a new SE. Any takers? [The upgrade is available now for
$1600. No word on developer pricing, if any. -Ed]

I am soon going to buy a 2400 baud modem to replace my troubled Apple 1200 baud
box, and am looking for suggestions. I am for the moment considering the relative
merits of a Zoom modem (incidentally this is on special for $139 with some barebones
software) and those of the SupraModem (available for about $140 mail order). Does
anyone have direct experience with either of these? If so would you comment. I need
help soon, as I need a new box fast. If you have other ideas, I am open to suggestions.
More expensive is okay if it can be justified. Thanks.

for downloading and reading messages. I replaced a Priority One Zipper 1200 with
this modem, which was much better as far as features go. For example, the Zipper
