I have one (got the ethernet off of a IIsi that was $5
at the
Uni Surplus depot) I haven't considered NetBSD, though. I _do_
have a couple of sets of 30-pin 16MB SIMMs - 128MB in an SE/30
would be fine. :-)
Might not be possible.
The SE/30 has 8 30 pin slots, and is rated to use a max of 4 MB chips.
That gives it a max RAM of 32 MB.
But I haven't tried putting more in one, and there are a few Macs out
there that will use larger chips, or more RAM than they are rated for,
but most will not (they either don't see the larger chips, or they won't
access more RAM).

The important word is "rated". No... Apple never rated the SE/30
for 16MB SIMMs, but various sources claim they work.

I have had that experience trying to use 64MB 72-pin SIMMs. The reason
it doesn't work is complicated but logical. Is is *possible* to
make a 64MB SIMM work in, say, a 660av, but most of the ones that
happened to have been manufactured have an incompatible refresh scheme.

Not at all true. I have four 16 MB SIMMs in my SE/30 right at this very
minute, giving me a total of 64 MB. It's gratuitous, wanton, and silly,
but it _does_ work.
