Classic II Upgrade

It could theoretically work, but you'd have to modify the cable, the connectors are electrically and physically different. On top of that, you'll have to move the fan for the board to physically fit in the case - due to the shortened Classic II board, the fan sits in front of the board and therefore you would not be able to get an SE/30 board all the way into the case without moving the fan elsewhere.
Here are some pinouts to help you get started.

I've put all the compact logicboards and analogue boards, except the CC, in an original M0001 case. All you need are the pinouts to go from one power supply to the other. The main difference in the later compacts is that they provided additional power for things like PDS cards, hard drives and the like. Though the SE does not run its audio through the power board.
The reverse is likely true, but LCGuy makes a valid point. You will not be able to put a pre-Classic board into a Classic case without more or less gutting it and altering the rear case port access. Also, you will not be able to use the SE's sound without modifying the Classic's audio circuitry. You will not be able to adjust the brightness of the Classic monitor. But the board should otherwise work. You will need to make sure a fan is installed in the case. Finally, using the existing Classic chassis, you won't be able to use any expansion cards. The logicboard rails will have to be modified and the current height may also not be enough to accommodate the SE/30's SIMMs.
It's definitely a major hack to put a functional SE/30 in there. Easier to put the Classic II in an SE/30 case or transplant the entire guts from the SE/30 and not try to mix them.

you can network either way. However, it takes some doing to connect to a modern OS X Mac. see this thread http://www.vintagemacworld.com/netmain.html
I want classic II to do my dns server (netbsd).
I also have quadra 610 (valiant.homelinux.com) that do my personal maiserver (imapd) and smtpd (postfix) and filter mail (procmail),it also is the MX server for lupsyn.is-a-geek.org.
Now i want a dns server for my lan : ).
So i don't use Mac os. I reed that bsd support scsi adaptor, doesn't it ?
