Techknight™ - LC PDS Network Card etc. in an SE/30 or IIsi? :?:

My first take on this notion was to remove the NIC's Connector and wire it up at a right angle to the SuperMac PDS Adapter as if it were the PowerCache Card on a Twin Slot Adapter. I'd thought to use fairly heavy gauge wires from the address and data thru holes for the Zeners to connect to the thru-holes of the de-soldered LC-PDS connector. Other signals need to be routed around the SuperMac Adapter a/o through the vias on the to the NIC with wire wrap jumper wires, but the first 64 connections are easy! The adaptation of the PDS and its interrupt/slot address reassignment would have been done in the loom.
However, that didn't work out. The Radius_Color_Pivot_II/IIsi must be used as the PDS Adapter in the IIsi's PDS due to its length and shape, so the SuperMac Adapter needs to be plugged into the RCPII/IIsi instead.
Take two:
