Right.  In theory you could probably run the 360MHz U60 CPUs with a 4:1
multiplier as well (use U60 jumper settings for 400MHz), though I've never
tried them.

Anyone want to buy a pair of 400MHz/2MB's (U30/60/E250/etc)?

Yes, you can.  It's close but they do fit.  I had that config for a while,
now I have E3D/C3D.

They all shipped with manual eject floppies, but a transplant from an
older Sparc can give them proper software eject.
