It would be easier to find a PDS Ethernet card for the IIsi... they used the
same ones that the SE/30 used. Very cheap too - I picked mine up for a mere
AU$5! The Ethernet cards usually came with a supplementry FPU unit; IIsi's
never had an FPU, SE/30s did... in an SE/30 the FPU needs to be removed for
the machine to work, so if you're buying a secondhand card make sure there's
an FPU (Motorola 68882 chip, in a holder) if you want to amp up the IIsi's
performance a bit.
