Keep waiting... WHile the PDS slot could support the Daystar 601, I do not
believe it was a supported upgrade.  I have the same card kicking around
in the closet, along withthe original Apple 601 card.  Both will go in the
PDS slot on the Q950 I have (It will dual-boot, as did the Q950 I had
years ago)...  If you can prove to me that the PDS card was actually
supported in the 630, I will indeed apologize.
