'Fraid I'm not much of an electronics guy, but I can take some decent pictures, so I could put it on my website tomorrow. I like the idea of using the Asante then plugging in the adapter in the pass through.
The SE/40 site (http://www.pp.iij4u.or.jp/~happyday/se40-1.html) shows a SE/30 with a Daystar '040 Turbo and Asante NIC that is hung off the adapter, but I can't see how the adapter card fit in there without "sawing off" the FPU socket or at least notching it.
The chip has the following info: GAL16V8B 15LP B310D62
The photos would be very useful, Jack. Jeff Walther may be able to give a better guess than me about the GAL but I think it's just supplies the logic for whether an FPU is installed on the adapter.
I recently purchased a similar "Sonnet Presto-040 Dual-Slot Adapter" for the IIsi, Part# CIA-SI. It would stand about 2.5" above the motherboard and has two interfaces; the top one is for a PDS card and the lower one for an accelerator. I presume this would be a IIci cache slot based adapter? There is no FPU socket so the board is shorter than the Diimo (say 0.75"). It's a four layer board, I think, with lots and lots of cross connections. There is a single surface mount component on the reverse (black, labelled 102).
