aside from sticking an SE/30 motherboard in an SE case? Are they common or rare? I'd never heard of one before until this one showed up on LEM Swap. This one looks to be brand new-in-box. From glancing over the documentation, it looks like they made a Brainstorm Plus accelerator that achieved the same functionality on a Plus.
Sun Remarketing has been selling them (for the Plus) on Ebay for $29.95. They have at least 30 of them. I've been waiting for them to get tired and lower the price. In their latest listing it came down to $24.95. If they get down to $20 I'll probably buy three or four.
I have a friend who had one in his Plus and he swears by it, but I don't know how it would compare to other accelerators. I think his joy was in comparison to the stock Plus.
Sun Remarketing is interesting. They were a purveyor of way over-priced stuff. I don't know who their customers were--maybe institutions like schools who needed an established entity to take a Purchase Order. The purchasing process of bureaucracies makes it difficult to impossible for them to buy things on the used market.
Now they're selling a number of interesting items at reasonable prices. They've had lots of fifty (50!) classic mice for ~$60 with shipping. The load of Brainstorm accelerators. Some of the old backpacks for classics still in original wrapping, etc.
