That card should be supported -- I have an Asante MacCon PDS card in my LC
475. One thing, though -- that card doesn't require an adapter to fit into
an SE/30, correct? I seem to  remember that there were quite a few varieties
of Asante MacCon cards.

Subject: Pre-Install Question about Ethernet Card Support on Mac SE/30


I am considering installing NetBSD on my Mac SE/30, and have consulted
the supported hardware section of the installation instructions on the
NetBSD web site.  From what I read there, I am unclear about whether my
Ethernet card is supported.

The card is an internal Ascante MacCon 30si, Revision Alpha-1.1.

I would also appreciate your commenting on what I have in mind for my
partitions.  The system will be installed on a 500 MB internal drive
devoted entirely to NetBSD (I can boot from a floppy).  The main uses of
the system will be: 1) to run a medium-volume mail server with Postfix,
2) to run a mail client to read mail, to run a Usenet news client to
read news, 3) perhaps an ftp server, and 4) to learn NetBSD (I have some
experience with FreeBSD on i386 and with Linux):

      500 MB
      ------
/      10 MB
/swap  64 MB (32 MB physical RAM)
/usr  400 MB
/var   10 MB
/tmp   10 MB


Thanks,
Barry
