TOPIC

Are the PC Compatibility Cards supported in the PCI-based Workgroup Servers?

DISCUSSION

The PC Compatibility cards were not tested by Apple in the Workgroup Server computers, so Apple cannot suggest or recommend their use. It could be theorized that they should work in the same manner as if they were installed in a PCI-based Power Macintosh computer.

An Apple Workgroup Server (WGS) with a PC Compatibility Card installed would be considered quite an unusual setup because the WGS is designed to be used only as a dedicated server. Additionally, the PC Compatibility cards have no server capabilities and will not run Microsoft Windows NT. The PC Compatibility Card could only be used to emulate a desktop Macintosh computer.
