Installing Asanté MacCon Cards

Video Options

Even though the Macintosh IIsi has only one expansion slot, you can
install both a MacCon3 IIsi card and the Radius video card. An exter-
nal interface device is not needed and high performance is main-
tained. The following table shows which MacCon cards you can
install with the Radius and SuperMac video cards and which ports are
available for connecting to the Ethernet.

Setting the Slot Address for Two Cards

Since the two cards cannot use the same slot address, change the slot
address for the Asanté card by setting the JP1 and JP2 jumpers on the
larger controller card. If you keep the default slot address of 9 for the
video card, you can set the Asanté card address to A, B, or E, as
shown in the following table.
