This includes all the original Power Macintosh computers as well as the PCI-based Power Macintosh computers. Important: Drive Setup is not supported with the Macintosh Processor Upgrade. If the upgrade is installed in a 68040- or 68LC040-based desktop computer with an IDE drive, use the 601 Processor Upgrade control panel to turn the card off before using Drive Setup. The original Power Macintosh upgrade card is not supported either.
