Gregg has his names around his neck :) The cards in question are the Value040 LCPDS upgrade. The 32-bit '040 universal upgrade is the Turbo040 The PowerCache was an '030. Daystar marketed an extension hood for earlier LCs (LC,II,III,III+ AFAIK) that allowed you to use a PDS card as well as a Turbo040 card in the machine. Theoretically old PDS cards work in the LCIII-PDS slot, which is true for standard interface hardware like ethernet, graphics and the like, but possibly not so for accelerators. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> Vintage Macs List Nanny "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
