on it?
I know Orange Micro is defunct, so help needs to come from 3rd party
scholars.
Dana,
I have one of the Orange Micro PC cards in my 9600. You just need the
OrangePC software and a copy of Windows (if I remember right, up
through Windows 98 or maybe SE) software to use it. They originally
had a video loopback cable that allow you to use one monitor for
Windows and the Mac OS. You can also hook a monitor up to it directly
and run Windows on one monitor and the Mac OS on the other. The
support stopped at OS 9 or 9.1. I know it will not run in the Classic
environment. I think the B&W was the last supported system.
I always found that Windows running on the OrangePC card was much
faster than anything running in Virutual PC.
Orange Micro used to have all the software, updates and manuals for
the various OrangePC cards (there were 5 or 6 of them) on their web
site. If you want to play with the card but can not find the software
send me a note off list.

Okay, now I'm confused (not unusual these days it seems), but when I
first got my beige G3 and found this list, I was told that the PC card
(Radius in my case) from my PM 7200 would not function in the G3 at
all. Being the trusting soul that I am I never even tried it. Now you
are saying it will work? Clarification please!
Just a message from Doug...
