The FPU socket is for use in the IIsi. SE/30 and IIsi ethernet cards can be
used with CPU upgrade adapters with a IIci cache slot and the IIsi - SE/30 PDS
passthrough.
DO NOT MIX UP THE CARDS! Plugging a card designed for the IIci cache slot into
a SE/30 or IIsi PDS will damage it and possibly damage the Mac. Would be nice
to know why Apple didn't do something to make it physically impossible to plug
a IIci card into a IIsi or SE/30.
SE/30 came first, followed by the IIci and IIsi... so why didn't Apple simply
give the IIci, IIvi, IIvx and the Performa 600 the exact same PDS as the other
two??? That would've been six models with the same PDS, and a heck of a lot
easier job for hardware developers, which would've resulted in more cards
designed for the SE/30 PDS.
