As it turns out, it has become a moot question, but I needed to know the answer in case it had turned out the other way. The seller I'm in contact with has both the 10base2 and the 10baseT daughter cards for the Futura II card. Actually, my Mac Con daughter card only has AUI and 10base2 but I bet it'd be easier to get an AUI to 10baseT transceiver than a 10base2 to 10baseT converter. Now the next question is, does the IIsi Nubus adapter work with the SE/30? It probably won't fit in the case, will it? I'm thinking, instead of going the Xceed, Mac Con route. Perhaps I'll see if I can build something that will work with the IIsi Nubus adapter and squeeze in a Turbo 040, and a Futura II SX card with the Ethernet daughter card installed. It's a 7" card. The only disadvantage to this route is I still don't get grey scale on the SE/30 and part of the attraction of the thing is to keep it all in one box rather than going to an external monitor. Is the grey scale adapter completely dependent on the Xceed card's technology or is it something that might hook up to any Mac video output with some fiddling?
