Short but sweet: Is the PDS video card for the 6100, 7100, and the 8100 compatible with 68ks (with '040 PDS, granted)?

conjecture: if any of the accelerators that go on adapters that fit in the pds slots and the NuBus slots of the same or very similar same era machines and none of the machines that you're referring to have keys in their slots that keep you from trying........

the card MIGHT NOT burn up. *

* my pinout.signal.ref book tops out @ IIfx so I relly don't KNOW, but an old warehouse catalog or one of the tech sites MIGHT give you a clue.

well I would try it myself, but i don't have an HPV card. If it can be verified that it works, then I can go and get one

Bleh. (as Marchie reminded me) Its a PDS card so it gets data directly from the processor, which in this card's case is the PowerPC 601. I assume the processors aren't compatible in that respect.
