Again, it's a homemade attempt to put both an internal/external grayscale 
monitor card AND an ethernet card into the same PDS slot, using a homemade 
((?) - What is a "DiMO" board? Am I wrong about the splitter being homemade?) 
splitter/adapter board. 
But from what I can tell, the creator stressed that the idea was to make it 
completely installable/removable without any permanent modification to the 
original hardware. Since the back of the SE/30 case only has one hole/bracket 
for an expansion card, the guy took the external portion of the ethernet 
adapter, put it in a homemade plastic shell, and taped that to the back of 
the SE/30's case. 
That large pink vertical stripe is the tape, and you can see the rainbow-
colored ribbon cable (a homemade one, the original wasn't long enough) coming 
out from the space between the upper edge of the hole in the case and the 
metal bracket inside.
