Odd Daystar SE/30 PDS adapter

Hmm. Never seen one of these before. I'm referring to the riser/adapter - scroll down for the larger image.

Nice find, Bunsen. Until your post, the closest I'd seen of those SE/30 adapters was in a Daystar product manual.

Ebay saved search notification for the win

So these are the rare-as-hen's-teeth adapters we hear so much about, and never see? Can't wait to see the final bid then

I am sure it will go for $250+ to some Japanese guy whose room can barely fit a SE/30.

What I want to know is can you solder in another PDS socket for ethernet? Personally a SE/30 is better off with ethernet then an 030 and no network.

For that card to work in a IIsi I would expect 2 sockets soldered sideways, but isn't the IIsi PDS socket 180 degrees different from the SE/30 socket meaning the adapter cannot have a 2nd adaper since it would hit the plastic case?

So, that is a non-SE/30 card with an adaptor for an SE/30?

I guess you could always solder a second PDS slot to some wires and then to the card if placement is an issue...

68030 greyscale SE/30 anyone?

Flamingtoasters, you are a genius. Now, if only I had mad crazy money to throw at it.

To Uknown_K: Srs. SCSI > ETHERNET. Learn it. Live it.

Yes but with ethernet, you could finally get that 20 year old machine on the web

Never liked that option, too much junk hanging off the SE/30.
