I'd be more interested in seeing if the original CRT could be pushed to do Grayscale along the lines of the SE/30 hacks (poor man's grayscale?) from the 6400's output and the equivalent of the Enhance "Liberty" adapter, which does have a setting for 512 x 384.
I don't recall the Q630-P6500 series ever having any problem the lower screen resolution settings on my favorite adapters, support for higher and higher resolutions and color depths became available as the series progressed.
Interesting project, I'm glad to see B making up for his sharp retort, his motto is: search, search, search, which is great advice, as many of the hack questions that come up have akready been addressed here in the past . . .
. . . pointing out a couple of terms or a link to start your search in his reply would have been nice . . .
. . . but, now I don't have to dredge up, and repackage, my overly complex version of your hack. }

Using a tiny ATX PSU underneath the MoBo to power it, along with the analog board for the CRT within the confines of a stock SE case makes for an interesting hack. I'm not home for a few days, but I'll check some of the parameters in a few days.
1) You might need to angle the MoBo down a bit toward the SE's I/O ports if you're dead set against changes to your SE's case.
2) The width of the 6400 Mobo may be problematic, in terms of retaining the SE's original Analog Board to power the CRT.
3) I can't see a huge problem in adapting the 6400's video output to drive the 9" CRT and the cable connector is very handy.
. . . but I've been known to underestimate technical complexities. :
Very interesting, in fact, I've recently pulled my project off the shelf in order to take a break from the SuperIIsi nonsense for a bit!
