I've managed to get my hands on a IICX adapter, and have completed the pinout page. In theory, this diagram could be used to wire up an adapter between Daystar accelerators and any 68030 socket.

My only remaining question is this: the card has 8 small capacitors arranged in parallel. All of them bridge +5VDC and GND. This puzzles me. Can anyone with some EE experience explain this? Why use 8 small caps rather than 1 large cap?

Now to build one and see if it works...
