I'm surprised by this statement; I despise the SE/30s because they run TOO fast 
and are an '030 -- both of which are a deadly combination for trying to get old 
games to run.  The 16MHz is too fast, but just in case, the '030's cache 
completely screws up any self-modifying code tricks.

The rest of your email was helpful and informative, thank you.
