Well, i think the thing here is when you are dealing with computers, you
want to allow for the best, or largest slots for expansion (ie height)
So, if you restrict all of the Macs, or even just the SE/30 to such a
small expansion slot, then you're limiting the expandability of the SE/30.

It really isn't a big deal to have different slot types... granted, it
would be nice, but you have to take each computer into account, and decide
what is best for that particular machine.

If a companie is distributing a quality product, they'll make versions
for each computer, at little expense to the consumer.
