Kinetics Etherport SE

Hi. I am new to 68kmla. I recently acquired a Mac SE/30 on the cheap. It is a nice clean machine and came with an ethernet card installed.

The card is labelled "Kinetics Etherport SE" and appears to support 10base2 through a BNC connection and 10base5 through a DB15 connection. Does anyone have the drivers for such card? Does anyone know whether this card even belongs in a Mac SE/30 rather than a Mac SE?

On a side note, the Mac SE/30 seems to runs very well and seems to have no video issues, but is nearly silent (audio just barely distinguishable); I assume this likely means that it needs to be recapped.

 
There is a card called the EtherPort SE/30 plus two NuBus versions called EtherPort II. I have drivers for both of these so send me a message if you still need them.

If the card is in an SE/30, then it has to be the SE/30 version. SE PDS cards are not compatible (physically) with the SE/30. Plug a 10 Base-T AUI transceiver into the back of the card and you can use it on a modern network.
