I've got an SE/30 torn apart in the basement right now. I'll look into the same fitment issues in hopes of reproducing your results. I *really really* want it to fit without going to a two-boards-with-cable solution.

Personally, I see no problem with a solution that blocks SIMM bank B. Most people aren't using 128MB in their SE/30s and the next highest config, 80MB, is barely more than the 64 possible with bank B blocked.

What about a board that had a hole in it to allow the power connector to pass through? I assume you already thought of that but I'll eyeball it myself, too.

If it only permitted use of the 68030 PowerCache boards and the later ASIC-based Turbo040s, that wouldn't be so terrible, would it?

How many people have earlier cache-card-equipped Turbo040 cards anyway?
