Vintage LC PDS card that adds 10Base-T Ethernet to supported LC, Performa, Quadra, and Color Classic systems.

For this platform (bus/interface): Requires an LC processor-direct slot and does not work in a Comm Slot. The seller enumerates supported models; do not treat all mechanically similar Macintosh slots as interchangeable.

MacEffects' new-old-stock listing said Sold out on 2026-07-27. Search the used market by the exact Farallon EtherMac LC PDS name and confirm that the card, driver disk or downloadable driver, and computer-specific fit are included.

680306888232mhzlc pdsfpu

Runs the Macintosh LC II or Color Classic with a 32 MHz 68030 processor and 68882 floating-point unit.

For this platform (bus/interface): Uses LC PDS, but the seller only supports the LC II and Color Classic. Do not infer support for every LC PDS computer.

The MacEffects page said Sold out on 2026-07-27. MacEffects explicitly limits support to the Macintosh LC II and Color Classic: reports about the original LC conflict, and the seller did not test or support it.
