I am replying to this on the net to take the opportunity to let 
everyone know that questions about all the various memory options
on all the various Macs are answered in Tech Note 176. It is available
via FTP from apple.com (130.43.2.2) as well as Compuserve, Genie, 
and the like.

Yes you can use the 256k SIMMs to upgrade an SE/30 to 2Meg.  The
SE/30, Mac II, Mac IIx, and Mac IIcx all use the same kind of SIMM's
(120ns, 8 bit wide)
The SE/30 does not require changing any jumpers or cutting of resistors.
The Mac II I don't know about; look it up.
