Any Mac SE ethernet cards?
Posted by: LaPorta on 2020-02-12 12:55:56
Just curious: I've seen all sorts of ethernet cards for the SE/30. Were any made for the SE?

Sure, just not as common.

Yes, Asanté made one for example. The other usual suspects had SE versions of their cards as well... Kinetics/Novell/Shiva.

Also there were ethernet extensions that would plug into certain CPU accelerators. One day I am going to need one of those to go into full retard mode with my SE and have ethernet and accelerator/graphics card combo in there.

There are also the SCSI to Ethernet options. You kind of run into the same issues that the SE/30 has, you can either run Ethernet in the PDS slot or an accelerator. The SE/30 has options to get around this (expensive adapters) but I don't think the SE does.
