I'm sure this isn't what anybody wants to hear, but there IS a greyscalevideo workaround for Turbo040...
Get one of those Lapis cards, or a SuperMac Spectrum 8/24 PDQsi, and
cram it into the SE/30. Then, implement a totally new video timing and
amplifier circuit, hook it up to the CRT, and you're good to go.
Not that it isn't easier said than done, but it's a plan. That's what XCEED
did, except they only had to implement the video amplifier; they BSed
their refresh timings to meet the standard timings the BIV uses (and the
Analogue board provides). How about raising some fund to hire somebody to design a circuit to
connect CRT to 9-pin video connector? I own a Turbo 040 and Lapis
DisplayServer and would love to have a grayscale SE/30.
Anybody? ;D

I agree.
However, since I am the first person to respond in 13 years, I doubt it will come about.
