I have one in my plus with 4mb of memory and an st296n seagate (80mb) drive, 
and am quite happy with it. There are two things that I have found that do 
not run, and one minor annoyance. TypeAlign does not run, and there is not 
yet an init to make the sound system operational. The irritant is that you 
cannot format new disks all the time. I use Init to disable the card, format 
a bunch and reinstall it. Messy but it works. As for the 030, I'd recommend 
it. I have far too many toys to buy to pour my life savings into an FX. :)
