Since I have an empty PDS, are/where/is there any interesting alternatives to fill it with (that would still be compatible with OS 6)? The DayStar Turbo 030 Universal Power Cache manual (Version 2.0A) does not mention System 6, but the card will work with A/UX. They were made in 25, 33, 40

I think the standard was 32Kb. Can you get bigger sizes? Does it help? I don't think I've seen a PDS cache card. There were bigger sizes, 64K and 128 K, made by 3rd party vendors. I had a 64K that didn't seem to be any better than the 32K. Since I have an empty PDS, are/where/is there any

Hi, I was wondering whether it is possible to use DSL over Localtalk for any mac without ethernet (especially a Classic II and LC III). Currently I have an iMac using DSL directly, although I do have an unused ethernet router. Would LocalTalk Bridge Work? I read it can't route TCP/IP. Thanks,
