  1. What kind of expansion or upgrade slots does my Mac have?
    from macfaq.org.  Note that this seems to have been written before Quadras appeared, with their 040 PDS.

Cut a long story short, here are the different and incompatible types of PDS:

  • No PDS - 128, 512K, 512Ke, Plus, II, IIx
  • Proprietary slot, not PDS - Classic, Classic II
  • Limited PDS, no cards ever made - IIfx *
  • SE PDS - SE only
  • LC PDS - LC Macs, Quadra 630, 640, 640DOS, 51xx, 52xx, 61xx, 62xx
  • 030 PDS - SE/30 and IIsi **
  • IIci PDS - IIci, IIvi, IIvx, Performa 600
  • 040 PDS - Quadras ***, PowerMac 6100 with DOS card adapter ****
  • 601 PDS - PowerMac 6100, 7100, 8100

*   cannot communicate with Nubus slots

**  NB: the IIsi Nubus adapter does not work in an SE/30

*** except 630, 640, 640DOS

**** should also work in 7100, 8100, WGS 9150 but for space issues

Various Powerbooks also have PDS-like connectors for expansion, such as the PCMCIA cardbay in the 520/540, or the Docking Connector on the Powerbook Duos.
