Almost--you can't add both the 68881 module and the SCSI module; it's
one or the other.  It's a good box; the SCSI interface runs reasonably
fast.

Aside: From what I've heard, the Starboard II won't work with
Lucas/Frances boards because it generates a lot of bus noise.  (The
documentation for the Starboard explicitly states that internal plug-in
boards are not supported.) Has anyone managed to fix this?
