Hi all, This is my first time opening a topic on the list. Would anyone know if it is possible to use a NuBus Ethernet card in a Mac IIsi with a NuBus adapter? Looking at Low End Mac's page about the IIsi, I cannot see why it wouldn't be possible. I understand that the SE/30 Ethernet card will work, but I also know that it is hard to find, and I just don't have the funds to spend on something like that. NuBus cards seem to be a little easier to find. I think the NuBus adapter itself might be hard to find, though. Any input is greatly appreciated.
From my memory I think your need an SE/30 / IIsi PDS card with a fplying ribbon and a separate backplate with the ports on. They are getting relatively challenging to find over here (I tresure mine like gold dust), might be easier in the US though.
I don't know if there is a NuBus riser for the IIsi - I don't know enough about the machine. It was a deliberately downgraded version of the IIci so it may not have.
