Processor Direct Slot (PDS) - 9

Processor Direct Slot (PDS)

The LC-PDS is compatible with the PDS in the Macintosh LC

family of computers, but it is not a true PDS. Like the

expansion slot in the other models in the Power Macintosh

and Performa 5000 series, this expansion slot supports

many PDS cards designed to operate with the MC68030 bus.

While the I/O expansion slot accepts PDS cards designed for

the Macintosh LC family of computers, some of those cards

do not work. PDS cards designed to interact with the main

processor—to provide, for example, a RAM cache or an

FPU—will not work in the I/O expansion slot.
