Hey guys.
I just received a special package from our very own Bolle. It's an Asante MacCon. Thanks again mate! It's looking great.
I wanted to add ethernet to my SE/30 but I also wanted color... And as some of you may already know, the Radius IIsi Pivot is electronically compatible with the SE/30's PDS but they're absolutely not physically compatible with one another...
A couple of months ago, I started working on a bespoke PCB that would allow the IIsi card to fit inside the case. I wasn't really going anywhere with this thing.
In comes the MacCon. It has a passthrough and it looked like a MacCon+IIsi Pivot combo might fit inside the case. And it does, sorta...
The pictures speak for themselves.
Here's how it looks like right now if I try to put the bucket back on... Close, but no cigar.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to join together this Radius Pivot and this Asante MacCon... LOL
The honeymoon starts tomorrow. I'm pretty excited.
A close up of the connection between the two cards.
And here's my getto right angle adapter... Is this the adapter some of you guys were talking about? Or is there a better solution? I think this is OK, but I do need to test the connections with the MMU, just to be extra sure...
SO, now I need to cut a tiny piece off that Pivot card. What's the best way to tackle this problem you reckon? A file? A saw? Dremel perhaps? I don't want to kill this thing.
It looks so promising!
