I have Daystar Turbo 040 too, and I tried it RasterOps PaintBoard Lightning
1.1 video card inserted except for MacIIci. It's because it couldn't be
started up only in Dayster Turbo 040 card. System is 7.5.5.

But, output indication to the monitor was a little wrong. Furthermore,
MacIIci didn't boot up from booter when I inserted two NIC CARD. The method
which it coped with though it seemed that interrupt routine collided with
me wasn't found out. I don't know a case of Mac/SE30.
Will it be useful? If It's possible to use Daystar Turbo 040 on my
Mac/IIci I want to use it.
