With my battery damaged SE/30, I received this Lapis DPD PDS card.

After seeing a few comments from @Bolle (https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?thr...al-page-video-card-for-macintosh-se-30.45538/), it appears to be possible to get VGA compatible signals out of this card.

The interesting this is that, although my SE/30 came with a 9-Pin ECL connector, the „Video Out“ pins on the board are fitted as well!

Is there a possibility that my card is already prepared for „VGA“ (or standard Mac video out) and I just need a matching cable?

It works! I admit the voltage divider PCB is very crude, but I can now attach a standard Mac monitor or standard VGA monitor to the video card!
