I'm about to receive a Daystar 040 and I *do* now have the Daystar SE/30 PDS adapter. However, for this to plug into the Asante Maccon ethernet, I believe I want the 120-pin right-angle adapter that Gamba sells for $2 or so.
Alas, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounces with 'This mailbox is full' Is he still around? An alternate address? Does anybody have one of these 120-pin right-angle adapters they'd care throw in the mail to me? Luke ps. the Daystar adapter has a MC74ACT86N and a PAL16L8D/2PC -----Original Message----- From: Compact Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Walther Sent: Saturday, 10 April 2004 6:28 AM To: Compact Macs Subject: Re: DayStar accelerator in an SE/30 At 15:00 -0400 04/09/2004, Compact Macs wrote: >Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2004 11:12:26 -0700 >Subject: DayStar accelerator in an SE/30 >From: John Niven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Am I right in assuming that the ONLY thing the required DayStar SE/30 >Adapter did was provide a straight through connection, to get over the >physical constraints?

It is a PAL or PLD or some variety of programmable logic device. I have the adapter for the IIsi but I discussed this in email with Gamba before he disappeared and the SE/30 adapter also has one or two. The IIci and SE/30 PDS slots are wired a little differently. Hence the adapter is a necessity. "Designing Cards and Drivers for the Macintosh" has the respective pinouts listed in it. Some day I would like to take a 5V source, some switches and some LEDs to that PAL and see if I can determine its logical content. But I'm back in school for a semester and taking four labs, so that day won't be this semester. Jeff Walther -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
