- New Canaan, Connecticut--October 15, 1990--Nutmeg Systems has announced
- immediate availability of a PDS (Processor Direct Slot) adapter card for the
- Macintosh IIsi. It allows most cards designed for the Macintosh SE/30 to work
- in the PDS slot of the IIsi. The adapter card carries a suggested retail price
- of $149 and corrects the most common compatibility problem between SE/30 cards
- and the PDS on the IIsi.
-
- • Keeping Up with 20-MHz
- “On SE/30s, the PDS slot effectively provides a system clock (16-MHz) on two
- pins. The IIsi’s slot offers a system clock (20-MHz) on only one pin,” said
- James C. Ackerly, COO of Nutmeg Systems. “Our adapter provides a 20-MHz system
- clock on the appropriate pin, assuring compatibility for boards whose designers
- made the unfortunate choice to take the signal from the wrong pin on SE/30s.”
-
- • A Cost-Effective and Timely Solution
- Nutmeg’s IIsi PDS Adapter card is available immediately for $149, substantially
- less than the cost of Apple’s adapter when it ships later this year. “Unlike
- Apple’s adapter, Nutmeg’s card does not include a floating-point chip for two
- reasons,” said Ackerly. “First, we’re convinced that many users don’t want a
- floating-point chip. Second, our strategy is to provide products that we feel
- Apple should make, but doesn’t. We offer users an immediate, and
- cost-effective solution.”
-
- • Availability
- The Nutmeg IIsi PDS Adapter card is currently available through dealers, VARs
- or Nutmeg’s national accounts program.
