Q: Will the TPD/20 or /21gs operate on Power Macintosh computers with PCI
slots?

A: The Power Macintosh 7200, 7500, and 8500 offer compatible built-in video,
but the Power Mac 9500 requires a PCI interface card such as the Radius
PrecisionColor 8/1600.



It didn't say what OS limit the Radius Card has if any.
