Of course, there are always exceptions to the exceptions.

Apple made certain components, mostly CPU cards and cache cards, to IBM's 
specification for the Power architecture. But there were exceptions for 
specific models. The 9600 and some 7200s, for example.

However, just because Apple implemented certain fixes, usually a subtle 
timing change, in order to make an otherwise standard part work in a 
specific configuration, and, consequently, it marked that part "xxxx 
ONLY", doesn't mean it won't also work in other configurations. It only 
means that that part was specifically modified from the standard part for 
the specified configuration, and was intended only for that specified 
configuration.

Should you be fortunate enough to get it to work in another configuration 
or configurations, so be it.

But, that doesn't mean the card will work in any other than those for 
which it was specifically intended, and in those in which you 
specifically ran exhaustive tests.
