DOS Cards for Quadra 950- Any Recommendations

Just think, having a Quadra 950 in 1992 would be like having a Mac Pro today… except with more slots, more expandability, and on-board SCSI!

I did a bit off research on these a few months ago. Here is what may be useful to you:

http://lowendmac.com/tech/pds.shtml

Apple used a similar PDS in the first generation Power Macs. With an adapter, the 601 PDS matched the 68040 PDS, allowing the use of the same DOS cards in both series of computers. For instance, Apple's card for the Quadra 610 DOS Compatible fits in the 6100, just as the card designed for the Power Mac 6100 DOS Compatible fits in the Quadra 610.

Mainly for PCI cards, but something might be useful:
