Let's talk Nubus DOS cards...

Interesting. I have a 6100/66 with the DOS card. Of course that darn computer also has a dead hard drive. I didn't know it was a PDS card of any kind though. I should have guessed. After all, a PDS slot would be ideal for any kind of processor upgrade/alternate processor that needs or wants access to any other hardware besides itself.

I use virtual pc (i don't remember which version) on my performa 6116 (with sonnet nubus g3 500 mhz installed) for dos games but i would like to know if there is an emulator for dos that supports roland mt32. I have the original device but until now i have managed to use it on my macintosh with some sierra on line games that support it. Virtual pc seems to support only soundblaster.

I wish I had a sonnet proc upgrade. Minus the hard drive trouble I have the video adapter, the cable that goes with the DOS card and an AAUI ethernet adapter dongle thingy. All the bits and nothing to do with it at the moment.

For the sake of arbitrary curiosity...

What other machines would the dos card from the PowerMac 6100 DOS work in?

Per the article posted on jagshouse.com (http://www.jagshouse.com/DOScard.html) it seems that the PM 6100 Dos Card will work more or less - under some configs perhaps with caveats - in the following machines:

Centris 650

Quadra 650

Quadra 700

Quadra 900/950

Quadra 800

Powermac 6100/66
