I wonder if there is any way of running two expansion cards in one se/30???

I would like to run an asante ethernet card AND an greyscale grafics card for the internal display at the same time... (probably the Micron Exceed)

on the net I only found accelerator boards the let you plug in a second card, but no adapter solutions for other ones.

I also found out that it is theoretically possible (one guy runs 6 cards in his modded se/30 enclosure: http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/se30_minitowerEng.html) but I found the page a little bit tricky...

can someone help me with informations on how to do that or has someone actually done this him/herself?

thanks

this is what I want to do:

o.k., I know now that this is possible, but the image confuses me: does that mean I have to get my hands on an Asante ethernet card that has a PDS passt-through (that's how it looks like on the illustration?)
I have the following card which does NOT have a pass-through on it: "Asante MacCon+ TK/TO Rev B"

to sum it up, am I right assuming that I need the following items to sucessfully make this installation?
- Micron XCEED Color 30 Video Card
- greyscale adapter to connect the video card to the internal screen
- an Asante ethernet card with a pass-through PDS
- an 120 pin right angle connector

is this the only way of having both internal greyscale AND internal ethernet?

it might be easier to wait for an SE/30 that already has the internal greyscale vid installed and opt for the external SCSI-to-ethernet box...

additional thoughts from someone on this topic please?
