Can someone tell me whether the IIsi PDS slot is
compatible with the PDS
slot on the IIfx? I know that the PDS slot in general is fairly different
between models, and the IIfx is fairly unique in a hardware context
anyway. What I want to do is use a PDS-based video card in a IIfx, and
it's a working pull from a IIsi...
Nope, it's not.
Basically, the II-series Macs have two PDS standards:
- IIsi and SE/30
- IIci, IIvi, IIvx, IIfx
They are *not* interchangeable and supposedly you will let out the magic
smoke.
Barring that, does anyone know if there was ever a 3rd
party video card
for the PDS slot that is compatible with the IIfx?
I don't think that there were ever any PDS video cards for other than the
IIsi PDS. The IIci, etc. all had three-or-more open NuBUS slots, so there
seemed little reason to need one.
(Speaking of which, you have my curiousity up... why the desire for a
PDS video card instead of a NuBus one? Don't tell me I'm not the only person
to max out a 6-slot II-series Mac. :-)
