| SE/30 doesn’t recognize Asante Ethernet Card |
Posted by: Tx76 on 2023-08-26 12:04:45
Hi!
I have an SE/30 Asante Ethernet Card installed in my SE/30. The card seems to be installed correctly and the green light on the back is on.
However, the Asante Ethernet Installer and the corresponding Trubleshooter app don’t find the card.
What could be the problem? I guess the green light means that the card is correctly installed and gets power, right?
(The SE/30 is recapped and works perfectly, by the way).
Thanks for any help! |

The green light likely means that the breakout board in the rear is getting power (+5V) from the main board. Unfortunately, this doesn't prove whether the card is actually communicating on the PDS bus. |

have you tried to run TattleTech and see if the card is visible?
At least to see if the card appears in the PDS bus |

Agree with @ironborn65 - I'd suggest checking whether it shows up on the bus using tattletech or Slots or similar to start with |

Thanks. I downloaded Tattletech from macintoshgarden.org, but it crashes when I start it… I will try to find something similar. |

Tattletech is the one you need, just try a different img, dsk or sit file
Try this attachment, rename it to .img first (the site does not accept a .img extension)
Tattletech 2.17 created with diskcopy 6.3.2 |

Tattletech 2.17 created with diskcopy 6.3.2 Thanks a lot! It worked!
Unfortunately, I don't think the card is recognised... at least not correctly.
TattleTech reports no Ethernet hardware address and under "PDS" it says:
• Nubus/PDS Slot# = $0E
◊ Board Name = Macintosh SE/30 Internal Video
◊ Board ID = 12
◊ Vendor ID = Apple Computer
◊ Revision Level = MacSE/30-1.0
◊ Part# = 341-0650
◊ Functional Resources :
+ Device sResource Name = Display_Video_Apple_MacSE/30 Video
- Device Category = 3 (Display)
- Device Type = 1 (Video)
- Device Software Interface Type = 1
- Device Hardware ID = 9
- Device sResource ID = $80
- Driver Number = -49
I don't know why it lists the display under "PDS", but obviously, it doesn't find the Ethernet card.
Does that mean that card or PDS slot have a problem? |

Make sure you check the "All Slots" checkbox on the bottom, this is required for my Asante card to be listed in tattletech. |

I don't see this checkbox... Hmm. Maybe it's just in newer versions of tattle tech... |
