PCI Support for the ISA Style Bracket

Q: We just got the new PM9500/120. We have a PCI board using the PCI/ISA form factor. What mechanical brackets and board form factor does Apple support?

A: PCI PowerMac CPUs support the ISA-style bracket.

Expansion cards should follow the mechanical specifications given in PCI Local Bus Standard, Rev 2.0., exactly. Short PCI cards for Mac CPUs should be no longer than 6.875 inches (174.63 mm) dimension specified. In some Macintosh models, 6.857 inches represents the maximum length for a PCI card, while in other models, cards may be any length up to 12.283 inches.
