IIRC, first, that's NOT NuBus, it's an SE PDS PassThrough adapter whose EuroDIN connector is easily mistaken for NuBus by eBay 68k Noobs (to put it mildly). Its function is to allow an FPD or TPD Display Card to be used along with the Radius 16 or Radius 25 Accelerators in the aforementioned SE . . .

. . . or not! :-/

Jeepers cripes on a pogo stick. You can read the part name and number in the photo and you have Google.

Yes, I have since seen that it is a video card adapter (allowing separate video cards to be pugged in) for the SE. When I went a-googling the first time, I must have spelled it "magibus," and nothing turned up.

Dang! Now that I have a Radius accelerator I could use one of those.

Looks like he just posted it on Jan. 25th...oh, 2009. It's not 2009 any more is it? Ooops. Well, I'll post this message anyway, because you might want to take the long shot.

Oh, but Herb Johnson's page says the following:

"Video cards for the SE: ask about pric.

Note: unless noted, these SE Radius cards need a Radius Magic Bus adapter 630-5010-A for the SE, which we have available."

So you may wish to check with Herb.
