Sorry to revive an old thread. I have one of these video boards (also a $5 flea market purchase) and would like to get it working with my SE/30. Simply plugging it in doesn't get me very far. There are no signals evident on either of the output connectors and I suspect a display driver is...
Not a good idea unless you want to overstretch the head tensioning springs. With the drive out of the enclosure trigger the loading mechanism to bring the heads together, then slide a narrow piece of card stock soaked in IPA between them and wipe it around in a circle.
If anyone needs the updated firmware and flasher utility please PM me? That vector test image is cool, but I could not figure out a way to download it. The button redirects to an area at Extron that's accessible only to registered owners.
I have a PowerCache that looks like the topmost photo on the image below. There's an identifier on the back just above the connector:

Is this board compatible with an SE/30? It's working fine in my IIci, but I'd love to use it with one of my SE/30s.
Absolutely. Something just plain gets out of tolerance. In my case the socket looks slightly bowed in the horizontal plain. The DDB SIMM is rigid enough to pull it into alignment. The BMOW SIMM flexes with it.
There's nothing magic about the metal clip sockets. I have an SE/30 that simply will not work reliably with a BMOW Rom SIMM, even after bending the clips in a bit. That helped, but it still crashed intermittently. I tried building up the contacts with solder. Again it helped a bit but not...
