6360 questions?

[dv-]

Got a 6360 and ported over some parts I had from a 6400 motherboard. Was curious about this 60 pin connector (see attached pic) on the AV capture card - anybody know what it does? (I’m guessing it’s for the TV tuner?)

Also, I have a Netgear FA311 PCI Ethernet card, which came out of the same 6400 and was working ok about 30 years ago. Wondering if anybody remembers what drivers it needs? (It’s a National Semiconductor DP83815 chip, according to retro web. My own eyesight isn’t quite up to the challenge today.)

Thanks!

It's a Digital Audio/Video (DAV) connector. It's to directly feed signals to an add-in card such as a hardware MPEG codec.
I'm pretty sure the TV Tuner card feeds into the logic board via the main harness connector.

I can't help with the NatSemi ethernet card. It may have support built into some base Mac OS extensions.

the avid cinema pci card was one such common use of that 34-or-60pjn (depends on apple video-in card revision) connector .. the other small header is for the more commonplace tv (or less common tv/fm combo card) daughtercard

as for the fa311 pci card some sources says its a windows vista card (so rather still 'new') but some others seem to suggest its based on realtek 8139d otherwise so I suspect the generic realtek support might had made it work on your 6400 a long time ago?
