Delta Tao Software seems to own Dark Castle these days. Even the newer color version is "out of print" but that probably wouldn't run on the SE/30 anyway. However, you might try emailing them and see if they still can set you up with the old original version. Be sure to mention that it's for an SE/30 or a Mac 512. I bought the updated version they created many years ago, and in my opinion the responsiveness to the mouse just wasn't as good as on the original version. But then, I think the original version didn't run on anything with an ADB bus, so it was probably grabbing the mouse inputs directly rather than through the OS Managers.
