hi,
i have one of these Nubus cards, Sound Accelerator II, and i'm struggling to get it working in an 840av on system 8.1 . Could be i'm lacking the drivers and they do not see available on the digidesign website.
any clues, guidance ?
thanks
this may be the clue:
'NuBus
This kind of slot was fitted in later 680x0-based Macs. With suitable hardware, up to 15 cards can be accommodated, each with an address numbers from 0 to 14, the computer itself having the number 15. Up to eight 12-inch cards of the NuBus 87 variety can be accommodated in a Mac II.
Although the cards talk to the processor at 3 MB/s, they correspond with each other at between 10 and 20 MB/s. The backwards-compatible NuBus 90 card, introduced with the Quadra 700 and 900, runs at 30 MB/s. Unfortunately, the speed reverts to the slower rate if a NuBus 87 card is present.
Some later machines equipped with NuBus 90 slots only accept a 6-inch card. You can solve this problem by plugging an external NuBus expansion rack into the machine’s bus. Your 12-inch cards can then be installed in the rack.
A wide range of networking cards have been produced in the NuBus format.
