Actually, all Quadras except the 630 and the Pmac 6100, 7100, and 8100, and 
some Power Computing clones have nubus too. The nuumber of slots ranges
from one to six. Anyone who wants a Mac with that "Apple II feeling"

They only have SCSI and serial ports built in, plus six slots.

I have this card but since I have two 13" Trinitrons on hand, I'm not inclined
to try it. I have a nubus composite video card which I put in my junker IIx
to make it usable. Then I can use a monitor III with it. Quite a sight to
see a Mac II with a monitor III on top.
