Can't find a PPC upgrade adapter. I should be more specific. This is a Centris 660AV that is being turned into my main astronomy and video work machine (nothing to intense, just basic stuff).
Trouble is Robert that there is no PPC upgrade adapter for the AV Quadra's (660 & 840) PDS slot.
There is a Nubus slot adapter for the 660AV but they can be hard to find. of course the problem is that there was no Nubus DOS card made, they all go into the PDS slot.
The DOS software that's to be run on it is actually Windows 95 (not really DOS, obviously) with some lower end astronomical software packages that I use that are not available for the Mac. And due to an impending move, I can't add another computer to my burgeoning collection (8, not counting portables!). A Quadra 650 would have been choice, but alas... whole 'nother 'puter there. I am aware of some problems with sound and DOS cards in the AV machines due to the whole DSP arrangement; not a biggie. Besides, at this point, it's all moot as the card is now out of my possesion. By the way, thanks to those of you here who responded. I was worried that the DOS cards were getting scarce (based on how much that guy soaked me for!).
