I read in another message that this exists, possibly by using a IIsi ROM? Does anyone have any details on this little trick?--

The Se/30 is basically a IIcx with a PDS connector instead of a NuBus Bridge chipset and a rudimentary video subsystem, AFAIK. jt  ™.

Trash is correct, and I personally have run an SE/30 (with A/UX, no less) with a IIsi ROM. This ROM makes the SE/30 32-bit clean, which is good since A/UX likes more than 8MB RAM.Matt No rank Permanent 68k roommates:

Would a IIci ROM card work as well? I found a IIci upgrade kit on eBay that includes an upgraded IIci ROM SIMM. Otherwise I may have to go digging for a IIsi. Thanks for all the help!--

It MIGHT work, I haven't heard of that one, the IIfx I've heard has worked, but I have a feeling that the SLIGHTLY more than rudimentary onboard video subsystem of the IIci could cause problems, but that would be true of the IIsi's also, but that's tagged as a "universal ROM" . . . hrmmm?Check out the ROM info in the link in the "The Best ROMs" thread for clues. jt ™.

AFAIK only the IIsi and IIfx ROMs will work in an SE/30.Matt No rank Permanent 68k roommates:

Check here:http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/ Bottom left corner has the info for the SE/30. You need to read the link SE/30 with 0S 7.6.1, 8.0, 8.1 for the in fo on the IIsi and IIfx ROMs. NOtice that Gamba has put up a link for a hacked IIci ROM. Haven't read it yet but it should you some clues as to what he is up to Kami
