I’ve got an SE/30 with an Asante MacCon ethernet and Micron Xceed video cards stacked up in the PDS slot. I recently got a MacCon SE(non 30) card off of eBay because I saw it had the daughter card with the removable AUI section, and I was hoping to use the new daughter card so I could mount the external display connector for the Xceed without resorting to hacks. However, when I connect the SE/30’s MacCon to the split daughter card, I don’t get any activity out of the 10baseT connector. If I switch back to the daughter card I had before, it still works fine.
Before I get too deep into debugging the hardware on this new daughter card, I wanted to make sure, are there any known incompatibilities between variants of the MacCon controller and daughter cards? I didn’t get that impression from browsing the forums, and from previous repair experiments I’ve done I worked out that the cable pretty much just carries AUI, but I thought I’d check what other folks’ experience with them is.
