The {Quadra,Performa} 630 has a PDS connector ('030 style PDS, afair), and
a Communications slot (style II). No Nubus, and unlike the 610 no optional
riser card with Nubus bridge.
I remember I researched the issue for a friend back when the 630 was brand
new, and there was only a very limited selection of PDS graphics cards
available.
I could set up a Nubus Mac with serial console for you to test, if that
were of any help?
