Scored a nice find for 50 cents today, a 50Mhz 68030 Daystar "Universal
PowerCache" accelerator card. From my research on the web this should
be SE/30 compatible, but requires some manner of a PDS adapter which is
essentially impossible to find.
The card won't physically fit in the SE/30 due to the metal chassis
getting in the way -- anyone know if this is the only reason the adapter
is needed, or are there electrical differences as well? As my SE/30 is
kind of a mongrel anyway I wouldn't mind hacking up the chassis a bit to
allow the card to fit, but if the adapter is actually necessary I won't
bother...
Thanks,
Josh
