You know what would be better than NuBus slots for the SE/30? More Direct
Slots! Think about it. An SE/30 configured with an identical monitor/card
(8-bit color) would perform better than a similarly equipped Mac IIx, just
due to the fact that the SE would not have the NuBus overhead to contend
with. Also, several manufacturers have comitted to the Direct Slot, meaning
a chassis just for the Direct Slot would be worth it.
OR....
How about a chassis with 4 NuBis slots and 4 Direct Slots! Are you listening
Second Wave?!
