Re: Centris DOS Compatibility

2018-12-21 Thread Robert Hesson
A couple of things... 

1. The dos card for the Centris/Quadra 610 and the power Macintosh 6100 are 
both 040 PDS cards so the short answer is yes, it will work - BUT...

2. The PDS slots in the 610 and 6100 are different - so the riser cars that the 
dos card fits in is different. 

This means a few things... the dos cards for the 6100 are very plentiful and 
they are the faster 486 DX2-66 variety while the Quadra/Centris units are 
486SX-33 units and are quite rare. I have seen two on eBay in the past five 
years and one was recently.

Centris DOS Compatibility

2018-12-21 Thread superstar64
So I’ve always considered the possibility of running MS-DOS stuff on my Centris 
660av. Does anyone know if the Centris 610 DOS Compatibility card (that I at 
least think exists) would work with my 660av? And if so, where to find one?
