A '''processor direct slot''' ('''PDS''') is a slot incorporated into many older [[Macintosh]] models that allowed direct access to the signal pins of a CPU, similar to the functionality of a [[local bus]] in [[Personal computer|PC]]s. This would result in much higher speeds than having to go through a bus layer, such as [[NuBus]], which typically ran at a slower 10&nbsp;MHz speed.<ref name="lowendmac-iici">{{Cite web |title=Mac IIci |url=https://lowendmac.com/1989/mac-iici/ |access-date=2022-09-03 |website=lowendmac.com |archive-date=2022-09-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220903213221/https://lowendmac.com/1989/mac-iici/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
