Anyone know what this is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370246807920

It looks about the size of an Asante network card and is that a math coprocessor soldered to the board?

It is a Nubus angle converter for the IIsi/SE/30 if I remember correctly.

JRL's right...its a right angle PDS adaptor board for the IIsi. While it will fit the SE/30, it would've originally been intended for the IIsi, as it has a FPU fitted. (the SE/30 has an onboard FPU IIRC)

I counted 3 row of 40 pins which is a PDS connector, not a Nubus. So this would add an FPU to the IIsi that doesn't have one and allows one to keep the PDS slot for an ethernet or video card...I get it. THx
