I guess if no one on the list wants to give/sell me one then I better
bid on it and see what's up with my SE/30.

I'd rather have a known good one though. Maybe I should find another
SE/30, there's one on Ebay with network card for like $99 plus shipping.

Just running out of money for vintage stuff this month (read, my wife is
going to be pissed off).

Sterling,

I'm almost sure that this is a cabletron card 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310161399127, (The
asante should have a pass through PDS)  (It could be a Farallon card)
Does anyone no for sure? I have one that came with I computer that I got
for parts but I've never tried to use it.

 I found the drivers on line for the cabletron and can e-mail them to
you, if it turns out to be a cabletron, you can probably find  the
Farallon drivers too.

Thanks Dave,

I have a new Asante card that I have not installed. I have been moving
so I haven't  have time to play with my SE/30 but when I do I'll try it
and let the group know how it went.

I have installed Asante e-net cards in a SE/30 and a IIci (same card
type in both). If you want to try once again here are a few pointers
to places I found information that made my installations work the
first time.

1) Installation of OS 7.5.5 according to this recipe:
http://www.fenestrated.net/~macman/755/
<http://www.fenestrated.net/%7Emacman/755/> 

2) Here is where I found the switch configuration info for the Asante
card:
http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/network-cards/netoth_1.html

3) Note the "Slot Address" jumper table at the Stason site. Here is
the secret decoder for which "Slot" to assign. Info is about 3/4 of
the way down the page, in the "SE/30 PDS slot addresses" table:
http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/se30_pds_multiple.html
<http://home.earthlink.net/%7Egamba2/se30_pds_multiple.html> 

4, 5) Asante cards for the SE/30 are Apple driver compatible, so I
used Apple 1.5.1 Ethernet card drivers, if I recall correctly, I
selected nubus adapter when the choice comes up.  First time the
installation won't work because of a can't remove file error. The ?
[can't remember name]? file can't be replaced.  Use the unhide tools
to find and remove the ?[can't remember name]? file named by the
installer in either the Control Panel or Extension folder then re-run
the installer:
http://www.macdrivermuseum.net/network.html
http://www.tempel.org/mac/#UnhideTools

I'd ignore item 1 at first and see if you can't make the card work
following the other tips first.  But, do read the instructions for a
7.5.5 installation and see if you don't want to do it anyway.

Hope this finds and fixes a configuration problem for you--frustrating
but cheaper if your cars is actually good.

Regards,
Dave
