[comp.sys.mac.hardware] query: SuperMac video card

Hi,

I'm looking at purchasing a SuperMac Spectrum 8 / Series II card for
the SE/30 second hand from someone.  Is there anyone out there (esp at
SuperMac) that can answer a few questions:

 - is it System 7 compatible?
 - is there any upgrade path (like if I wanted to trade up for an
   accelerated card in the future)?
 - is this card still being supported and/or sold?
 - what are the capabilities of the card?
 - if I don't use all the video memory (i.e., with a 13" monitor) can
   I use it for off screen buffering and/or page flipping?

And a general question:

 - does anyone make an accelerated display card for the SE/30?

Thanks in advance for any help...
