Let us know if you find it. I'd be interested to see if it is a
straight pin-for-pin splitter...

I can't answer your question, but I recall hearing about a similar

Watch ebay. I think most commonly they came with a 90 degree bend
for
the Mac II's.
I guess you're referring there to the Daystar SE/30 and IIsi adapters
for
the Powercache 030 (and I think the Turbo 040). The Daystar cards
won't
work natively in an SE/30, and need one of these adapters.
I'm thinking of something simpler, just a passive two-way splitter
for cards
native to the SE/30, like the Xceed Color 30 and Asante MacCon
ethernet
cards. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I want to be careful!
Around here somewhere I have an example of what you are looking for.
It's the only one I've ever seen. It is a simple splitter for the
PDS slot--no circuitry on board. It may actually be for the IIsi
rather than the SE/30 as both sockets are at a right angle, which
would make a lot more sense for the horizontally oriented IIsi.
The manufacturer was SuperMac (the video card company, not the Umax
Mac clone company) and it has a heavy metal back on the card.
The Daystar adapters typically have one PDS pass-through slot and one
"cache" slot that has a bit of circuitry in a PLD to make the "cache"
slot look like a IIci slot which is what Daystar's upgrades require.
