This is for Macs made after they went to internal display adaptors. The chips
were developed for the LC, and then used in all Macs. AFAIK, the first Mac II
to use it was the IIci. So the II, IIx, IIcx, etc did not and only had
a few resolutions, while the IIci,IIsi, all the Quadras and all the PPC Macs
up to (but not including) the G3 series used them. 

The G3 series Macs that used ATI and other chipsets still worked with the
adaptors.

The IIfx did NOT use that chipset, and I have no idea if they will work 
with them.
