That's funny; Gamba was very prompt when I ordered mine.  That must have been late spring or early summer.  Maybe he is on vacation.

I did try it once.  In MacOS, random chunks of the screen would redraw two or three pixels from their correct position, etc.  I booted NetBSD for the heck of it, and was shocked by how much faster the boot spam scrolled by.  But the screen weirdness convinced me to take it out after that one brief experiment.

Bah, it doesn't NEED an accelerator.  It's just painfully slow without one.  ;)  

I thought about using the SE/30 as a web and MySQL server when I got around to making my site dynamic, but I've since decided to go with JSP, and I don't know of a Java 1.4 that will run on mac68k.  So I might run Apache on it to serve my site while it's static, but then I'll probably move it to the G3.
