Not in retirement from Compacts so much as being totally out of 68k for a few years. Starting to get a little more free time and evaluate how deep I want to go.
Sorry I missed your report on this config! The only one I'd seen was from an old AF post whose author said the T601 did nothing in the SE/30... it just booted off the mobo processor and reported as an SE/30 even with a IIsi ROM SIMM installed.
It's bad news, but I guess I'm at least happy we reproduced each other's results.
If you wanted a dual-monitor SE/30, maybe you could write an INIT to initialize and use the internal video after boot-time?
I had (maybe still have) a SuperMac Spectrum 8/24PDQsi with the DB-15 moved to the end of a long pigtail for SE/30 use. Years ago when I tried it, it produced video but had odd color splotches that looked like memory corruption. I decided that it probably wasn't compatible -- but I never tried it with a ROM-upgraded SE/30.
