OrangePC Card on IIfx

got an orange386 and still trying to figure out where to put it since ISA extenders i havent come across as of yet

iici and into its digidesign expansion chassis. dedicated a macintosh ii/x to it?
 
The ISA slots are a nice inclusion but fitting anything in there is quite the design flaw! I'd look out for a ISA riser card from a 386, 486 slimline case (with 90 degree slots) that allows you to fit a card in upside down, so to speak. Other option would be a really low profile network or sound card.

the inception idea is a good one but the isa extender needs to be created precisely to fit.

The isa cards i want is a soundblaster 1.5 and a mpu clone. Best method is to make a ribbon extender into a breakout chassis.
 
I was able to get my hands on a Quantum 1.2gb SCSI drive (hopefully it works - I have one in my external Apple drive and my other IIfx).

The plan is to dedicate 300MB for System 7.1, and 900MB for the OrangePC side (currently have a 250MB Quantum in the IIfx and I’m maxing out on storage lol).

My question is - will my particular 25mhz 486 OrangePC card be able to handle Windows 95? I have the upgrade version on floppies. I don’t really want to deal with DOS 6/Win 3.1 again, but if I must I must.

Sorry, I’m just jumping into this thread, how much ram does this orange PC Card have?
