Hi there,
A while ago, I posted a message asking for an SE/30 PDS card with both
Ethernet *and* video for an external screen. The only two responses I
got were from people interested in the responses I would get :-(
I will try to find the time to make a few phone calls to card makers.
If I find something, I will post it here.
If someone missed the first query or didn't respond, you can still do
it! I (and at least 2 other persons) would like to hear from you!
In the meantime, I guess I have to consider the alternative: A video
board in the PDS slot and a SCSI Ethernet box :-(
I seem to remember that the first versions of these boards were not
exactly perfect... I am interested in knowing about compatibility and
performance. I know Compatible Systems make one (and they have good
University rebates too).
So if you have something to say (either good or bad) about any SCSI box
you use, I would like to hear from you. I will summarize of there are
enough responses.
Again, thanks for your help!

I don't remember if anyone actually came out with such a product and if there is enough room in an SE/30 to pull the same trick. Does anyone know if this was ever done for the SE/30?
