It doesn't use the PDS slot it's an 030 socket upgrade, although that's
slightly academic given that the IIci has a soldered CPU and it won't
work anyway. I am getting a Radius Rocket with it on loan, as I said, so
it's no biggy until I hae to give the RR back. I presume the Rocket is a
PDS upgrade right?
