I've got a Dayna E/CS on my performa 630, so I'm sorta in the same boat.
According to their tech specs on their web site, it uses a SONIC chip, so
that driver should mostly work with a bit a massaging. The thing I can't
find out about so far is the comm slot interface. I looked through Apple's
Developer Notes and didn't see the comm slot itself mentioned. I basically
just looked through the headings though as I didn't have time. I plan to
study it some more later tonight.
Does anyone know of any documentation on the comm slot that would be
accessable? I still have the LC040 problem, so I won't be able to work on
the ethernet quite yet.
