Apache, 

No I do not own the greyscale video board which enables you to use the crt as a greyscale. As for video cards, I only have that Lapis I bought on ebay for 80 euros or something. With this card, you can add an external color display up to 17 inch (the other, fancier version the 21, displays color up to 21 inch and a has a better resolution)

I'm planing on using it with a 14 inch Apple Macintosh Color Display (which I already own, but I'm afraid it is broken), a modern Samsung 17" LCD and the Apple Portrait Display.

I think this card is better than the Radius because it offers you a lot more modes but you can't have the greyscale mode of the Radius or the color "bootability". 

i.e. The card can't start from the color display. The internal will always remain the main display, unless you change it but the ROM gets re-written every time you boot up the machine, so you'd have to change everything again.

Personally, I don't care, I just want an external color screen.

Do you still hate me ?  ;)

PS: CC is right the SE/30 is basically a Iix without the 32-bit clean ROM. Although you can change your SIMM on the SE/30 and make it 100% 32-bit clean or just add Mode 32 to your HD.
