Jeff - On the subject of SE30 "angle adapters" ...you don't "need" an adapter with the earliest Daystar SE30 accelerators: Daystar made one that plugs into the [removeable] CPU (and if you didn't have an SE30 logicboard with a removeable 68030, you could send your logicboard into Daystar and they'd modify it for you).
The use of a right angle mod'ed Asante card does allow for use of an accelerator, or a video card, in addition to the ethernet card, together ..both cards residing off the lone internal PDS slot (as addressing is done via jumper on the Asante card). I noted a post from John Snook within the last few days (glad to see he's still around, as I haven't seen a post from him in ages). John is a good man with a soldering iron, if you don't have the time/patience to do the mod' (I realize you're capable of the work, too ...umm, if you're the "Jeff" I'm thinking of). John S. did the angle slot in the Asante card currently residing in my SE30. You might ask John to mod' an adapter for you (I traded a "regular" SE30 50MHz accelerator for the work; YMMV). John also replaced the fixed CPU on my logicboard with a removeable slot, to allow the use of the "original" style Daystar SE30 accelerator board. Comments, John? With use of the Daystar SE30 _specific_ accelerator (the one that plugs into the [removeable] CPU on the SE30 logicboard), you can have a Daystar accelerator, ethernet, and video card IN the box ...and still use the SE30 internal drive bays. (And you would not have to make any modifications to the SE30 case, internally or externally.) So IF you can acquire an Xceed card and the even rarer "CPU based" Daystar accelerator, you have the really "trick" SE30 setup, with internal gray scale, accelerator, AND ethernet. I think I've seen a couple of posts in the past from folk who have just this combo (I, alas, still don't have a gray-scale Xceed card). --- brandon davis --- -- sacramento, ca -- > > ----- Original Message ----------------------------------------------- > 14.
