I am actively seeking to buy network interface cards for my P550 and my
fiance's P6200. Both have a PDS expansion slot.
I have read the Apple TIL #10308 regarding PDS differences among Mac
models, but I am still somewhat confused.
This is what I _think_ I understand so far:
-The earliest Macs had none (Classic, Classic II, Powerbook)
-The SE has a unique one (96 pins but a unique wiring scheme)
-The SE/30 and IIfx have yet another (120 pins) [also IIsi?]
-Quadras use a 140-pin connector.
-All computers in the LC class use a 96-pin slot, except the LC
III, which uses a 114-pin slot. However, all machines after the
LC III have a slot that can accomodate either the 96 or 114 pin
cards. This "LC" slot is the most common type.
Now, whether this is correct or not ...
I have found cards being advertised as "for LC, LCII, LCIII, LC475, and
Quadra 605" The brand/manufacturer is unknown to me. My question is,
will these cards work in the aforementioned machines, P550 and P6200?
Thanks for your help,
