I cite from the original packaging of a "DisplayServer SE/30" DSPDS/30 multi-purpose video card: "With its support of most commercial video display standards, it becomes the ideal traveling companion for your SE/30...The DisplayServer SE/30 lets you choose from a large selection of monitors from both the Macintosh and PC environments: EGA, VGA, Multiscan. Full Page Display, Dual Page Display, Apple Mono, RGB, Portrait and Dual Page Displays, Overhead Projection (LCD) Panels and TVs." Copyright 1990 Lapis Technologies, Inc.! Note that this card, too, on the component side carries the P/N# 10006Rev#3, while the S/N# field is left blank. It has a sticker saying "Lapis PDS/30 Retail 9110 49781" on the solder side, and what I think is the (socketed!) ROM chip has a sticker with
"�1990 Lapis Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved Ver SE 30 R30G." Compare this to the card in the original post and try the DisplayServer�Plus 1.1 software on it. Keep us posted. In the early 90s, I had the Display Server 24 Pro in my SE/30, displaying millions of colors on the 17" Eizo T 560 i-T I still use on the G4. I have the original driver disks for both of these cards, so if you need drivers, contact me offlist. If Lapis did not make too big a technology leap between the older cards and the DisplayServer, there could be a chance the older cards could be put to a new life with the DisplayServer drivers.
