- ROM versions below 1.1 may have problems with Power Macintoshsystems. If anyone has the Diagnostics Utility for determining ROMversion, contact me. Some Futura II SX cards have a socket for a DSPdaughter card upgrade. This upgrade is very similar to the DSP upgradeavailable for the SuperMac Thunder/24card. These versions also lack the rotary switch on the card used fordisplay configuration.
- Can also use a 10Base-T ethernet daughter card instead of the DSPdaughter card (on models with the connector for the DSP card).
