I'm a bit surprised, though, that the card is BNC-only. I'd expect an Ethernet card of the era to have both BNC and a 15-pin AUI connector. (Are you sure there isn't one and you think it's a video port?)
Ahem. That may be more than interesting. Actually there IS another port on the card, it DOES look like a video port, and so I assumed that it WAS a video port. :I

I also own a Radius video card for the SE/30, and the ports look just the same. For now the graphic card is installed in the SE/30, and the network card laying in my boxes of cool-stuff-to-try-someday, so I haven't tried it in the Mac yet.

I just googled "ethernet AUI" and I learned a lot of things I didn't know. Like the difference between AUI and AAUI.

Wow. Well, I guess you solved the tough part of my problem and that I owe you a beer or something. 8-) Now, is there an easy way to connect one of my AAUI to RJ-45 adapter to that AUI port? It seems the wire is the same, shall I make a custom connector?
