Yes, an SE/30 can do color. As a matter of fact, an SE/30 is very
similar to aMac IIcx in power terms, just a smaller case and one special
slot is all.
What do you need? Well, a color card and a monitor is all. They
are very easy to get. The slot type in an SE/30 is call a PDS (Processor
Direct Slot). In simple terms, one pin on the slot equals one pin on
the processor.
PDS cards are usually more expensive than "normal" NuBus cards. The
only type of color card that seems not to be available is a full blown
accelerated 24 bit type card. My guess is that based on the power needs of
such a card, they will be the exclusive providence of NuBus power machines
(like my Mac IIx, :-) for at least a little longer.
If you have any specific type of card in mind, you can e-mail me
directly. Happy Mac-ing :-).

Software that Fits (800.972.3018) has a 24-bit SE30 combination (RasterOps, Seiko 14" Trinitron) listed at $1269. I haven't used this combination, nor have I bought from StF, but they have a no-questions-asked 30-day return policy. Anybody have exceptionally good or bad experiences with them? Has anybody tried to exercise the 30-day return privilege? =Ned Horvath= ehorvath@attmail.com
