TokenTalk NB Card: Power Macintosh Compatibility

Is the TokenTalk NB Card compatible with Power Macintosh computers?
The old TokenTalk NB Card has not been tested with any of the Power Macintosh systems and is not compatible.

The Token Ring 4/16 NB Card and Token Ring NB/c Card are compatible with the Power Macintosh 7100/66 and /80, Power Macintosh 8100/80 and /110, Workgroup Server 8150, and Workgroup Server 9150 systems. The Token Ring NB/c Card is compatible with the Power Macintosh 6100/60 and /66, and Workgroup Server 6150 when using the NuBus Adapter Card.

The System 7.1.2 installer has TokenTalk software for the Token Ring 4/16 NB Card but not for the Token Ring NB/c Card. NSI 1.4.5 or later is included in the box with the Token Ring NB/c Card. For the Token Ring 4/16 NB Card, we highly recommend that NSI 1.4.5 or later be used to install the latest Token Ring software.

If you plan on using MacTCP, you need to use MacTCP 2.0.4 or later. Operationally, there is no difference between the 680x0 and these Power Macintosh systems in regards to Apple's Token Ring cards.
