Remember, there are different types of PDS interfaces. Don't try using an LC in an '030. Check out http://macfaq.org/hardware/cards.shtml#Q2.6.2

Thanks a billion Ken, that makes total sense now - my reading error not distinguishing between SE and SE/30. Are the SE ethernet cards significantly harder to find? I can't seem to find any on eBay, whereas there are like 5 LC PDS eth cards. Would just about any LC PDS card work with an SE/30, or do the spacial limitations only leave room for specific models?
Hope these aren't terrifically obvious questions, i'm still pretty new to PDS

The Macintosh SE/30 and the Macintosh SE have different slots. The
Macintosh SE/30 can use LC PDS type cards (though the space in the
chassis is rather limited!). The Macintosh SE slot has a different
pin arrangement and cannot use LC PDS cards.

The SE/30 can use the same ethernet card as the Macintosh IIsi. The
Macintosh SE uses an ethernet card that fits, as far as I know, only
the Macintosh SE.

No, the SE/30 can NOT use LC PDS cards. The SE/30 uses a 120 pin DIN connecter while the LC uses a 96 pin connector. The SE uses a different interface. The SE/30 and IIsi can used the same PDS cards. Various machines can use LC PDS, it's the most common PDS type interface.
