I disagree with that. Both the IIsi PDS-slot ethernet card and the IIsi nubus adapter + nubus ethernet card will perform much better. SCSI ethernet adapters are notoriously slow and should be avoided unless there is no better option. The IIsi PDS-slot ethernet card is a simple 1-step solution. I've recently sold several to SE/30 owners since answering a question about them on AppleFritter ($10 plus shipping). I've never had any inquiries about the IIsi nubus adapter. I think I've got a stack of 5 IIsi's and every one has the nubus adapter in it. The nubus adapter provides an FPU chip. I think I have a couple of never-used IIsi nubus adapters in their original Apple boxes, which I could let go for $5 plus shipping. If you go that way you need a nubus ethernet card. There were lots of them, but your best choice for a IIsi is a short one. Otherwise the long ethernet card occupies the same space as the full-height hard drives that were standard in the IIsi. The last time I looked in my nubus box I had a CableTron 12" (AUI and RJ45), a Farallon 7" (AUI and RJ45), and a Shiva 7" (AUI and coax).
