Yeah...it won't work. As others have said, the LC PDS slot was totally different.

The idea at the time was that the schools that bought Macs would be able to run all their old Apple IIe software (regular consumers and hobbyists were *not* the market).

The Quadra 950 was *not* the type of machine that schools would buy...that was the Mac Pro of its day.

The LC was the type of machine being pitched to the schools. I have gotten the Apple IIe card to run in an LC, LC II, LC III, Quadra 605 (really an LC) and an LC 575 and Performa 578 (really the same as the LC 575). I just got a Color Classic and stuck the Apple IIe card in there, but haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

I can't remember the Apple Tech Info Article, but there is one somewhere that tells you exactly what Macs you can use it in.

Oh, and you have to be able to turn off 32-bit addressing (and use 24-bit addressing) so that limits the Macs you can use (no PPC's) and the OS (I believe OS 7.5.5 is the top OS you can use).
