What is this PDS card? — #4

I counted 3 row of 40 pins which is a PDS connector, not a Nubus. So this would add an FPU to the IIsi that doesn't have one and allows one to keep the PDS slot for an ethernet or…

There is not a 6GB HD in. Runs much better however the CD drive is flaky at best. It will read the OS 8 and 8.1 CD but not the 8.6 CD. It will also not read Duke Nukem 3d (disk …

At least I can upgrade it so it is a bit faster. The HD is being a pain and freezing a lot when using OS 8 while trying to read a CD and other things. I think I will replace the H…

You can only mount the 166MHz module in the 1400 it came with. The 133, the third-party 180MHz and the G3 module are the only upgrades for the 117. Nice bundle of accessories wit…
