It may be compatible with higher versions of the Mac OS but no information is available at this time.

Other Notes

There are two variants of this card. The earlier version has a 13w3 connector instead of the "normal" DB-15 that is present on the later version.
Requires eight 120ns DIP chips of the same variety as those for the Mac II Video Card for the RAM upgrade. Without the upgrade, the card only supports up to 2-bit grayscale on either monitor.
