I actually have my SE/30 set up just this way. My SE/30 even still has the original 40MB hard drive in it, so that the drive access light lights up when in use.
So IF you can acquire an Xceed card and the even rarer "CPU based" Daystar
accelerator, you have the really "trick" SE30 setup, with internal gray
scale, accelerator, AND ethernet. I think I've seen a couple of posts in the
past from folk who have just this combo (I, alas, still don't have a
gray-scale Xceed card).
I have a 40mHz Daystar board that plugs into the CPU socket on the logic board. I have an Asante ethernet card that plugs into the PDS slot. Then I had to make a 90 degree adapter (using the 2 96-pin euro-din connectors to make a 120-pin one) to re-orient the ethernet card's pass-thru vertically for the Color30 card. It was still a very tight fit.
It worked great for a couple years, but lately it won't boot with both cards plugged into the PDS. I think I'm not getting enough voltage through the slot anymore. I guess these logic boards don't age well... I'm going to try cleaning the board and see if I can get the beast working again.
