Have a Mac IIfx and 2 Nubus Ethernet cards to choose from to put in it: - Farallon PN590a-TP V1.3 NuBus Ethernet card and - DaynaPort E/11-T Rev A NuBus Ethernet card The latter looks smaller, more compact (fewer chips), and has a RJ45 10baseT adapter only. The Farallon one has AAUI and 10BaseT connectors and is larger, with more chips etc. Any real difference between these for networking/compatability. Have largely used Asante and Farallon (or Apple) cards, not DaynaPorts ones. Any difference? -
Picking up tomorrow: SE/30 with Radius Pivot monitor!

Send pics once you get inside to see the hardware. -
Do you have some further details on the pinouts? I have such a card and a portrait monitor and was looking at a Sun 13w3 cable to connect the two - is that not going to work?

Saw one of those daughter cards (though it read' upgrade card'). Some commentary suggests these cards have additional decoders on them. Will set up a ebay alert, but it could be a long wait!!

Sigh! 8( The long search for missing pieces commences... Managed to the the IIfx to spark into life - resat the RAM and ROM and took out those mad looking Kingston 2MBs and she came to life ok. Now, I just need to find a 7.5 or 7.61 HDD to chuck in there as I think 7.1.2 doesn't shutdown these 'keyboard button to turn on' models (is there a hardware shutdown command with keyboards? e.g. holding the eject key for 10 secs?)

A gentleman never tells... Let's just say the price paid was worth an entry in this nubus card lucky dip contest. Now, I just need to get it going - it does that 'Mac II thang' of the power light coming on for a sec, then shutting down. Possibly the batteries are too weak to kick it off (2 x 2005 Vartas) or the usual Mac II PSU issues!

Oh, and this was in with the pack of cables that came with it... a PowerR Inc. Universal Video Adapter, Model: Universal 3202+" Which Video Card would this one be for (or all of them)? Per, WayBackMachine, the non '+' version had these specs: Model 3202 Video Adapter For Macintosh computers with external monitors. The Power R Model U3202 splits Macintosh output to D-15 and an HD-15 connectors. Allows any Macintosh computer with an external monitor to drive two monitors, LCD panels or projectors simultaneously. Fixes sync problems. No power supply is needed. Easy to hook up.

So, I manage to snag an illusive 'Wicked Fast' Macintosh IIfx on eBay... While getting a Mac IIfx was great, of more interest was finding out what was inside this beast - eBay shared this glimpse of what was inside... Getting my hands on it at last and opening it up, I found that all 6 nubus slots were full: Time to find out what was in this lucky door prize... Now, working through these... 1st card: Radius Video card of some sort? 2nd card: Apple PC Drive Card with 50pin interface- what does this do??? 3rd card: Macintosh Display card - a 'Toby' video u
