What's the pin connector that looks like a floppy connector on the Whisper Perch card for?
Looking at my cards, I was wrong, both version of the wings cards I have use the 60-pin DAV connector.At first the AV “wings” versions added a 34-pin DAV connector that could interface with another expansion card (similar to or the same as the 34-pin connector on the AV card introduced for the LC/Performa 63x series) but later versions had a 60-pin DAV connector for the same purpose (similar or the same as the 60-pin connect on the AV card introduced for the 5500/6500)
I've heard that it is like a Comm Slot II, but only has the serial pins. There are internal modems that fit the 6500 that also work in the beige G3.Does anyone has a personality card with a child card (modem, for example) plugged in and could provide us with a high-res photo of it? Thanks in advance!
Is that J5 on the left side of the above photo?Note the Wings 2 PCB has the footprints to accept a USB port, which has been seen populated in a prototype machine.
Thank you for the clarification!I've heard that it is like a Comm Slot II, but only has the serial pins. There are internal modems that fit the 6500 that also work in the beige G3.
There is a Global Village manufactured part, I think sold/branded by Apple, but I don't know the part number. I might even have one as they came with 6500s.@Phipli Indeed, awesome!
Thank you for the clarification!
I wonder which device actually uses the PCI slot in the PERCH connector?
I'm not certain, the thing I read didn't have pictures, but they said 56k so I suspect it is 630-2612-A?Like so?

My 6500 had a geoport modem in it. All three, yours, mine and the 56k one use the same pins.I was picking up your "6500" comment, and also the form-factor. Not sure what speed that one I have is - never tried it.
Incredible - is the unpopulated location near the middle of the personality where the USB OHCI chip would go?
I haven't checked. I've only seen rear case photos of the prototype, and haven't sat down with a board with the pads to check. Not sure which of my G3s has the card with the unpopulated usb footprint. I'll have to go for a rummage.Incredible - is the unpopulated location near the middle of the personality where the USB OHCI chip would go?
