I picked up a Interware VDR-2A 24-bit video card for the my SE/30 on Buyee as well. It should arrive in the next few days! 🙂
Very nice! I saw that auction go off as well. If you don't already have one, you will definitely like the VDR-2a. Besides being able to do millions of colors, it is also one of the most compatible video cards (in its ability to play nice with accelerators and adapters for the SE/30) that I have seen.

I got the Interware VDR-2a today and everything you said about it is true. No issues at all. What a dream to get a color display hooked up to my SE/30. The icing on the cake was the seller even included a VGA adapter with the sale. It was totally Plug-n-Play! 🙂

For my own curiosity, what is the difference between pre-P33 PowerCaches and the other for SE/30? What does it mean by "pre-P33" ?

The P33 was the "Universal" PowerCache. Older ones like mine work in a more restrictive set of Mac Models. The P33 and later work in loads of machines.

Bolle's adapter is special and lets you use non universal PowerCaches in an SE/30.

Thank you! That makes sense.
