It is- the WGS95 is a Quadra 950 with the PDS cache card. A WGS9150 was the
PPC variant of this. The 950 could run A/UX; IIRC it was the only OS that
took advantage of the PDS cache card. The 9150 ran Appleshare IP under
regular MacOS. No A/UX there.  .  .

I was thinking after reading this thread that the Quadra 700 has the same
PDS slot connector as the Q950. I wonder if that card would fit in the Q700
case. _That_ would be a sweet little machine! <grin> I'll have to double
check the FAQ and then eyeball the card/slot and see if things line up.
Methinks the card is too big to go into the Q700 case.
