So I have an SE/30, and I have various daystar powercaches that I'd like to put inside. Many of you know that the daystar se/30 adapter is as hard to find as plutonium at the corner drugstore, and I don't have the patience or bankroll to find and win one at an eBay auction. It's hard to find, and nearly impossible to replicate.
However, a CPU socket adapter looks relatively easy to wire up (my SE/30 is socketed). I have high res photos of a IICX daystar adapter, and aside from a handful of capacitors and resistors it's just a direct pin to pin adapter. But the adapter is one of those multi-layer boards, where some of the leads are sandwiched inside the silicon. Also, the plastic sockets themselves block some of the view. Pinout diagrams of the 68030 and IICI cache slot have given me 90% of the pin map, but there's still about a dozen pins unaccounted for. So, if any of you folks have either a IIX or IICX daystar adapter, I have a proposition for you. I would like to rent it for a week or two, for the sake of making a wiring diagram. I won't damage it (I'll use my multimeter to map the pins), will return it promptly, pay for all shipping, and if successful will share the diagrams and results with the fine members of this mailing list. If anyone has one of these, let's talk. Best regards, JAS [email protected] -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
