Re: SE/30 and MacCon for IIsi and SE/30

[Jack Gallemore]

Just verified the transceiver works great on the Power Mac.  The  
jumpers set the address for the card so you might have several cards in  
the same slot at different memory addresses.  I'll do a continuity test  
on the cable.  Thanks.

Uh-oh - I'm at the end of my Latin here; I always shopped for  
RJ45-MacCons
and was lucky with the specimens I got (thanks, Bill Brown), don't  
know for
AAUI connections. But I have lots of AAUI-to-10BT aka  
RJ45-transceivers of
various brands that really never were a problem with AAUI-ethernetted  
Macs.
I haven't seen a dead one in over ten years dealing with these  
thingies.
Seems like you have a tough case there. First, I don't know Jack about  
the
jumper settings on the card you have; maybe there's an issue there.  
Second,
hardware-wise, I suppose your MacCon setup is the same as mine are: a  
main
card in the SE/30 PDS slot with a ribbon cable going to a kind of  
daughter
card in the output "slot" at the back of the machine. That would make  
two
possible candidates  for a failure: the contacts at both ends of the  
ribbon
cable. Another possible suspect is the contact in the PDS. It's clear  
to me
that without other known-good hardware to swap and check it's hard to  
blame
a culprit, but beaming you to my place is yet another challenge..  
Could the
MacCon be dead, or did the last owner say it was working? Just a  
couple of
thoughts...
