I thought the Apple rep who demo'ed the si when it came out said the si
could accept SE/30 cards in its PDS, but it was different from the LC PDS
which is different from the Portable PDS... and unsure about the converse
(si-->SE/30). I'm pretty sure the si can take /30 cards, though it may need
the adaptor board to lay them over on their side...
