Yeah I know it sounds stupid but what is Nubus is it the same as LC PDS? Also I have heard talk of a G3 upgrade card for a Powermac/Performa 6200, . Is it true? if you know of any someone please tell me.
 
Hi the paragraph is worded oddly but of the 62xx and 63xx macs, only the 6360 can take a G3 Upgrade, it is a "L2' upgrade rather than a 'NuBus' Upgrade

Nubus is a 10 Mhz 32 bit bus used by the MacII series, Quadra series and x100 series PowerMacs, it was replaced in later high end macs by PCI bus.

the LC PDS bus was used in LC and Performa low end macs I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
 
The 5200 to 53xx motherboards and the 6200 to 632x motherboards have a 32 bit path to memory, this precludes any PPC CPU but the 603 series from working on them. I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
