anybody know which slot the upgrade card
goes in when running PT III on 7100/80 0s 8.1
with digi expansion chassis with 4 farms, SC II card, and Nuverb.
Sonnet info sheet says upgrade card goes in PDS slot and video card goes in 2nd slot
I am confused

The new processor goes in the PDS slot (it's just to the left of the three NuBus slots and usually has a video card in it). If you were using the video card in the PDS slot, it gets mounted upside-down in a bracket that takes up the space on the 2nd NuBus slot. A ribbon cable from the processor attaches to the video card.

If you weren't using the video card from the PDS slot, you don't have to install it.
