I spent years trying to get my Daystar Turbo to work alongside an ethernet card. I tried every possible software combination, I recapped everything and even built a new power supply - all to no avail.
In a last-ditch attempt, I recently splurged on a DiiMo 50mz 68030 accelerator from Japan... and finally I have success!
Above is my Mac, with a DiiMo accelerator, Asante MacCon ethernet, 128mb RAM, Rominator with patched IIsi ROM to disable memory test, a Seasonic PSU, Noctua fan and an OpenWRT wifi card mounted internally.
I also retrobrited the case, keyboard & mouse using the "total immersion" method using diluted peroxide I got from my local spa shop. Although, it could probably do with a second treatment as I had bad luck with the weather.
I had to fabricate a new bracket for my Wifi card, due to the accelerator taking up the existing space:
It was a squeeze, but everything just fits!
I'm delighted with the outcome. My Spotify player now runs virtually on par with my modern PC! I'm keen to write some more internet enabled apps to run on my fast little SE/30.
