I have a SE/30 with a Mac ROM-Inator II in it, and the ROM boot image has been really nice. Since I installed it I've never needed a floppy, so that's a plus. I have used the ROM boot a few times, it's handy once you've got it.
I also have a ZuluSCSI SD<->SCSI adapter in the SE/30, and it's made the machine a lot more fun to play with. I set up the drive images in an emulator and then moved the images to the SD card and booted to them. It's booting A/UX now, and it was easy with no floppies and no SCSI CD drive.
At this point in time the retrocomputing community has built a lot of amazing hardware to grant new abilities to old computers.
I was always under the impression that you could mangle things and get two (more?) PDS cards in one. I had hoped at the time I could maybe even ditch the crt and get an Xceed to do internal video on some LCD for it.

Nice. I've got the ethernet card for my SE/30, and I always meant to upgrade it to 128 megs of ram. Maybe I should get this.

Know of any that would let it play MP3s?

You should.
