RE: SE/30 Video Help
Sorry, it ain't going to work. The SE/30 uses a custom, proprietary
display. No simple connection. The SE/30 uses what is called the 'Analog
connector' to connect both power AND display. Your best bet would be to
install Debian on the SE/30, see if you can get X running, and just run an X
Server to the 486.
It would probably just be easier to go pick up an old 14" display from
GoodWill... (Or your local thrift shop, if you're not in the U.S.)
