Depends, both are possible. At the last Apple fair here I saw one or two of these these converters, and relatively much more nubus ethernet and videocards, while I didn't see any other PDS cards (except one Daystar accel, which I bought) I'm looking at such card, it says "Nubus Adapter Card Apple Computer (C) 1990" It has 4 major chips: - VLSI 9112AV (AV???) - MC68882FN20A (the copro I presume), not in a socket - two identical Apple N 107's 343s1027 chips It also has a nubus slot. Does anybody know if this does anything more than adding the copro/nubus slot? >.. 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. I'd keep my eyes open for: AUI<->UTP convertors. Big chance that whatever you find it won't be UTP. either - a PDS ethernet card with copro as described OR - The above described converter with a supported nubus ethernet card. If the fairs here are anything to go by finding either the PDS<->Nubus adapter or the complete PDS-ethernet card is pure luck. The Nubus ethernetcards are not really a problem. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
