Recently snagged an SE/30 from the dump.
It has a card in the NuBus slot.
Sorry, I'm not at the card, can't tell which model.
All SE/30 video cards are RGB, right?
Please say yes....

Mac+=4,
MacSE=1,
MacSE30=2,
P400=1,
PB520c=1,
Q650=1,
UberQ950=1,
Performa All-in-One=TBD
PM7500=SQRT(-1)

Sorry, they're not ALL color cards, some were grayscale and there might have been some B&W only High Res cards too. It's time to run TattleTech!

hook the best monitor you can find to it, and see what it does

will an SE or SE/30 run the internal as well as an external display? it'd be interesting to see that

The SE or SE/30 will both still run the internal, but some of the SE/30 cards with adapters for the CRT will run the internal monitor in grayscale, there's info on gamba about this, IIRC.

I htink that the only card that will display greyscale on the internal screen is a Micron Xceed. This card is super rare and worth quite a bit of money (keep your fingers crossed.)

If you get a Radius Color Pivot card, it will power any external RGB monitor. (thanks to Jag for this tip)
