I was just surfing eBay and someone is selling the adapter card real cheap.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone ever using a IIsi nubus adapter in an SE/30? Just curious . . .

i dont beleive it work, because of the angle
on gamba, they have a whole page dedicated to using the adapter in an se/30. They show something like 5 or 6 different combinations.
are those numbus adaptors that rare?
The Gamba page makes use of the DayStar IIsi PDS card, which is a whole different beast than a NuBus adapter.
... and therein lies the reason why that NuBus card on eBay went to the only bidder for so little. The seller would have been beating us off with a stick if it had been a PDS card.

That's not a Nubus card, it's the Nubus adapter. And seeing as they share the exact same PDS, barring space considerations there's no reason why that wouldn't work in an SE/30.
/me imagines the possibilities and has to go sit down for a while ...
SE/30 + Radius Rocket
+ PAS 16
+ ProTools
+ Video/DSP card
* nubus expansion chassis + all of the above

Oh yes ....
It took you a year to pick me up on my sloppy reference to NuBus card/adapter? Guilty as charged, y'r 'Onor. About the adapter's use (above), since the dream expansion would go near to needing the 300W PS of a Quadra 9x0, why not start with a Quadra?
Apart from the challenge, I sometimes wonder (let it be only whispered ...) why I work towards upgrading an SE/30, and then (un?)reality takes over again.
