When the SE (not SE/30) first came out, I seem to recall that some 
external screen card vendors were offering (or planned to offer :-)) a 
"piggyback" arrangement on their video cards that would allow you to plug 
in an additional PDS card. I don't remember if anyone actually came out 
with such a product and if there is enough room in an SE/30 to pull the 
same trick. Does anyone know if this was ever done for the SE/30?
