Hello,
I'm owner of Mac SE/30 (asked regarding broken CRT tube a while ago).
Can aynone supply me with a list of accessories that can be inserted
into the slot? www.apple.com didn't help me very much, and the only card
I saw is 10base2/10baseT ethernet. are there any videocards for se/30?
or some other equip?
Cheers,

There was at least one video card made for the SE/30, I've got one in mine,
and I've got a SCSI-to-Ethernet adapter for network access.

I remember the first Mac I used back in '89 was an SE/30 with a
grey-scale (8 bit) card made by RasterOps. It had a grey-scale monitor
to go with it too. That was when the Apple LaserWriter had more RAM than
the machine that was printing! Aaah, the smell of ozone.

I had one of these SE30 video cards as well, complete with a jack in
the back for a Radius monitor. Wound up pulling it out of the machine
to install an ethernet board, and I can't find the video card anymore,
so I think I've thrown it out. The SE30 is still in service in our
basement, as a full member of our network. It's a little pokey and
won't run quicktime 5 at all, despite trying (I suspect the two color
video is the problem, really) but it goes, and iCab works on it. You
just have to be patient. :)

That brings up a good point, I think that video cards that drove 'page size'
monitors (or the 'tilty' monitors) were a popular option for Mac's of this
era. (pardon the highly 'technical' terms :^)

Still got a 20 inch monochrome monitor and it's driver videocard here-used
it with an SE/30 way back- made by Viking I think.

I was surfing around for upgrades for my g3 the other day and stumbled
across a company (I think it was Sonnet) that is still making a 68040
upgrade board that, with an adapter, can be plugged into an SE30. If I
didn't need that socket for ethernet, I'd be Soooo tempted. It's
surprising how much 68000 series mac stuff there still is. I would
check out http://www.lowendmac.com for more info. Oh, and FYI, no
matter what Apple says, if you can track down 8 4meg 32 pin simms
(remember those?) your se30 will happily address 32 megs of RAM.
Booting takes a while while it checks all that memory, of course.

Mine came that way, however, I pulled out 4 of them and put them in a system
my Mom was using at the time. I really should recover the SIMMs from that
system and put them back in the SE/30. Of course that will probably wait
till I have room once again for the SE/30 :^(
