As described on the Mac 68k page, the Mac SE/30 and the Mac SE FDHD are different machines from the Mac SE, and use different ROMs. I believe the Mac SE FDHD is quite similar to the Macintosh SE, but it has been reported that it is not close enough for the Macintosh SE FDHD ROM to work in the Macintosh SE emulator. The Mac SE/30 is much more different.
