The SE/30 and IIsi share the same PDS. Most cards will interchange between those two, though some may have problems with the higher PDS bus speed of the IIsi. The same *connector* was used in the IIci, IIvi and IIvx and Performa 600 but the electrical connections are different so you can't directly plug a IIsi or SE/30 card into the IIci type slot or vice-versa. Life with ye-olde-macs would be quite a bit simpler if the IIci etc. had used the SE/30 PDS. There wouldn't be the need for adapters. Like the 25 pin SCSI connector that's the same as a PC parallel port and the 15 pin monitor connector that's the same as a PC joystick port, you do not want to plug the wrong thing in. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
