680_2_0 upgrades sell for $1500-$2000 for SE's and +'s. If we assume
chip price to be a good indicator, that would put a 68030 board at
$4000-$6000, given your quoted prices. You just can't get from here to
there without an order of magnitude diff- erence in price, whether
you're talking about accellerator cards or nuclear power plants...
