Enlighten me: SE/30 PDS slot?

Anyone who is thinking about shelling out bucks for a long handled t-15, go to your nearest dollar store buy a t-15 driver (for a buck) then buy a 1/4 inch bit driver (for a buck) take the t-15 home and beat the handle off with a hammer or anything you can use to get to the metal part of the tool, completely remove the handle, select the correct socket to fit the end of the bare t-15 and you are done

I've been using this setup for 17 years now, total cost is less than ten dollars

No reason to pay $35.00 for a professional tool

and I can't get Lido on the SE/30, since it requires System 6.0.4 or later and I only have 6.0.2 and 7.5, which won't let me eject the boot floppy.

Don't forget that versions before 7.1 are available freely from Apple's web site:

the SE/30 runs at 16MHz, and the IIsi at 20MHz. Some cards will handle both speeds, and some will not.

Hmmm.

Has anyone ever tried the IIsi PDS-Nubus adapter on an SE/30 logic board? Nubus is 10MHz, which would be easy to derive from the 20MHz bus of the IIsi. It would (I think) require an independent timer to run on the SE/30.
