Daystar PowerCache 50 MHz on SE/30 ???

[pfuentes69]

Hey,
I got a Daystar PowerCache 50 that I was initially thinking to add to a IIci, but now I'm thinking that maybe the SE/30 could be a nicer host.

Does anyone has experience with this?
Where could I find the adapter board?
Is it compatible with the Rominator II?

Thanks!

@Bolle sells combo adapters that are both NICs and provide an IIci cache slot as well. I believe it is compatible with Rominator too.

Otherwise you will have to hunt down one of the twinspark or original daystar adapters.

Thanks. I sent @Bolle a PM

Actually I just need the simplest possible adapter... I have a RASCSI in the SE/30 and that gives me networking too.

This is the original...

Which adapter is that? I’d like to try that in the SE/30.

That’s the original one that was supplied by Daystar… as said in the manual

I have one in me SE/30 and it works great, I think I have the original DayStar adapter.

The Rominator II page specifically says it is not compatible with the PowerCache.

I also run a 50MHz PowerCache in an SE/30. It runs A/UX 3.0 acceptably fast.

Here's a pic of my adapter and 40mhz card, I use the same adapter with my 50mhz card.

I can confirm it does work with the Rominator II, as this what I have.

Good to know, thanks! I had decided not to get one based on the compatibility info on their site, I'll definitely reconsider.
