Also at the VCF East (See what else I got!) I picked up a Macintosh SE FDHD for quite a good price. I could see that there was something in the expansion slot: a bracket with DB-15 port. Taking the machine apart further (mainly for lubricating the floppy drive) revealed a Novy X103 expansion board was connected to the motherboard, and to the DB-15 port on the back. I can see that it has 68030 processor, and the system reports 4 megabytes of memory. I am curious as to what this expansion really is, and just want to know a little more about it.
