The following are guesses: He used the regular SE/30 "outie" slot for the external video adapter. So he plastered some honkin' abortion onto the back for the ethernet adapter's daughtercard ...at least, that's the way it looked to me ...I'd guess that part's still a "work in progress" ...you don't go to that kind of effort to keep things looking nice and then stick something that unaesthetic on your creation. It looks like a DiiMO 68030/50MHz PDS accelerator plugged semi-directly to the PDS slot. Some kind of gawd-knows-what multiple PDS connector home-made rig sitting(?) above(!) the DiiMO. An Asante MacCon ethernet card jutting out on the horizontal axis from that "thingie", and some variation of an Xceed card going up the vertical axis. Pretty clever. Heckuva lot of soldering. I couldn't quite make it out, but I'm also guessing that there's another homemade PDS adapter UNDER the DiiMO for the crud-load of cables he's bringing into the home-made multi-PDS connector. (He had to have figured out the addressing for each of those slots pretty close: kudos!) I'm also guessing that he was reluctant to cut up the SE/30 case. I *think* you could achieve much the same outcome with a flat CPU Daystar Powercache, an Asante card with the "extra" slot pointing up, and the Xceed card above ...but I don't have an Xceed card, so this is just a hope. --- brandon --- -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
