It is, in fact, just a PDS slot. :-) Like all PDS
slots, it is specific
to its model.
Unlike the various PDS-slot-only Macs, since the IIci has plenty of NuBus
slots, the only things made for the IIci PDS are the cache cards and
processor upgrades (well, that I've ever seen).
Ok... then it isn't a "PDS" slot in the generally sold PDS slot card
world sense.
Generally, an unspecified PDS slot refers to an LC PDS slot, otherwise it
usually specifies that it is an SE PDS, a whatever PDS. (but that is a
"generally" concept so when buying a PDS card, it is always good make
sure it will work with the machine you have in mind)
With that in mind, I would not count on the IIci as having a PDS slot,
simply because it will be unlikely to find anything other than a cache
card that fits it. At least if it was a more standard LC PDS, you could
toss an ethernet card in there, keeping all 3 NuBus free for use.
