Did anyone see this nubus "adapter" for the SE/30 on eBay:

I've never heard of such a thing.
Very cool, and already way outside my price range, though certainly reasonable for such an item. I remember Second Wave's advertisements in MacUser and MacWorld way back when. They sold all manner of NuBus expansion chassis, sort of like Magma does for PCI these days. I don't know what kind of volume they managed and it seems like PCI kind of killed them off, unless they mutated into something else. I know their advertisements petered out and died not long after PCI became common-place.
I seem to remember at least one expansion chassis that would add some ridiculous number of NuBus slots to a machine. But the memory is vague. It seems like it was more than ten though--or the total result was greater than ten. I think NuBus can support at least 16 slots, but does anyone know if the Mac can support more than one NuBus bus. There's also the issue of address space allocation. Most of the Mac's only seem to have address space allocated for slots 9 - 15 (9 - F).
What we need is an archive of old, interesting Mac magazine advertisements...
