There are two flavors of LC PDS cards. Old and new. New ones are designed
to work with LC IIIs and up. old ones were designed for the original LC.
Some or all of the old cards don't work on newer machines. I had one, it
didn't work in a Q605 but works fine in an LC. I don't know how to tell
the difference, try looking the part number up at the Asante web site, see
what models it lists. Asante Tech support isn't all that familiar with
this.
