However, the CD-ROM (when present) is a SCSI device and the 630 retains its external SCSI port.<\/p>\n<p>The 630 was quite cleverly designed for a computer with no industry standard slots. It contains an extended LC PDS that supported both LC and extended LC cards, a comm slot for a modem or ethernet card, and a video slot for either Apple\u2019s Video System Card or TV\/Video System card. To top it off, the DOS Compatibility card plugs into the CPU socket and also uses the PDS, but it leaves the comm and video slots free.<\/p>\n<p>The standard Quadra 630 has a single SIMM socket, but if you\u2019re handy with a soldering iron, it\u2019s possible to <a href=\"http:\/\/lowendmac.com\/2016\/add-a-second-simm-slot-to-quadra-lc-or-performa-630\/\">add a second one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Got a 630?
