Well . . . If I had an SE/30 to hack, I'd do a takeoff on this KlugeMac Config . . .

. . . the first thing I'd do is to leave the Asante Card Stock, if at all possible . . .

. . . Adapt the (first of two) Radius Color Pivot II Cards as I've done with the SuperMac PDS Adapter . . .

. . . install the Radius Color Pivot II "spacer" in the the SE/30's PDS Slot . . .

. . . install the Stock Asante NIC atop the Radius Color Pivot II . . .

. . . Install the TPD's matching VidCard horizontally in place of the PowerCache in the diagram above . . .

. . . then test for CRT Clearance, if it works great, if it doesn't . . .

. . . I've got two methods of dropping the NIC's connector down to two different different levels for achieving proper clearance up my sleeve! }:)

BTW, the "Standard DTP Workstation" was indeed an SE or SE/30 with FPD or TPD when it came to Compact Macs. However, as color CRTs came down in price and color previews became important, the IIci came into its own, usually coupled with said B&W or Grayscale FPD or TPD and a smallish (by today's standards) 13" RGB "High Res" Display or something like that for PhotoShop work and layout preview, so a three screen SE/30 would have been the "Semi-Portable" DTP or CAD Workstation of choice in the configuration I've suggested.

Place an order to macmetex, take two RCPII/IIsi Cards and "call me" in the morning! :lol:
