The mods are not required with the Turbo 040 if you have that "upstanding" adapter. The ones I used were angled across the floppy drive in an SE/30, made to be used in a IIsi. Those removeable CPU motherboards are now very rare. Most remaining SE/30's will have a soldered-on CPU making it absolutely necessary to use the PDS adapter to stuff a Daystar into your SE/30, unless you have the chutzpah to desolder the fixed CPU and solder in an adapter card like the one I mentioned for the IIfx. My experience with the angled setup was that I had a slow booting, (128MB RAM), checkerboard-at-first-then Turbo starup SE/30 that was a neat albeit a little slow Internet appliance. I had to trim the metal of the chassis to let the Daystar card fit through the card hole,too. something NOT for the faint of heart. Jeff G -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
