The memory chips are available, if you are willing to do some extra work.

Get 128 MB 72 pin SIMMs or 64 MB 72 pin SIMMs. Desolder the eight (or 16) 16M X 4 memory chips. Put two each on your home designed 30 pin SIMMs.

One $16 128MB 72 pin SIMM will supply enough memory chips for an entire SE/30, provided you don't destroy any in the desoldering/soldering process.

A two-layer SIMM should work fine. I used a two-layer design for my IIfx memory, and Doug is using a two-layer design for his ROMs.

As others wrote, it may not be worth the time/money, but it would certainly be fun. I've often considered running off a batch myself.
