Hi there,
does someone have such a PC-Card in his Macintosh?
What PC-Card do you have and in what Mac is it installed?
What PC-Software/OS do you have installed?
Thx
Doc

Always wanted a DOS/PC card for Macintosh, most I can find are for the PDS's, any of which I do not own.

I have collected some of these cards, but I am interested what other people have and what they do with them.

I got a "DOS Compatible" Performa 630.
Really fun, very useable with it's 486 @66 and SoundBlaster Vibra module.
Running DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11.
Mac is running System 8.1 (would prefer 7.5.5 but it didn't like the DOS card on that OS).
I also had this one, but the power supply died.

I have quite a few.
A Performa 630 DOS Compatible, a Power Macintosh 6100/66 DOS Compatible, and a boxed PCI "PC Compatibility Card"
You need the "PC Setup" system extension+control panel to make the DOS card work in any of them. Version 1.x were the original releases of the software by Apple. Version 2.0 was spun off to a separate company to sell, and had quite a few improvements. The seller of 2.0 made Version 2.1.7 free when shutting down - you can find perfectly legal copies of 2.1.7 online, including the serial number registered to "free". You need version 2.x to run a DOS card on Mac OS 8 or later. (Although there are no drivers for Mac OS X.)
MacOS 8 needs PC-Setup 2.x ? Are you sure about that?
I use MacOS 8 on 6100/66 and PC-Setup 1.64.

I have one-- Orange386.
Do you know how to get into the bios / setup? I am trying to change the ram amount, but I cannot get into the bios to do so.
I don't remember the bios-keys...sorry. I never changed settings. I have to try it out...

"The easiest way to enter the BIOS setup is to hold down any key on startup to generate a keyboard error;
then type Ctrl-Alt-Esc to run the BIOS setup program."

Well...thats not good. Take a read here.
I cannot get it to generate a keyboard error. My application does not have the hidden preference window either. When I try to upgrade the ram, the amount is incorrect when it does a ram check, and if i put two stick in slots 3&4, it says the ram count does not match cmos--run setup, but never says how to.
