X-Mailer: uAccess - Mac Release: 1.5

Please respond via e-mail, I will post a summary if there is interest.

One of my clients has an Ehman 2 page black/white monitor. They are
getting a new mac, and will have to get a new card for the monitor,
which I can do from the people who took over Ehman.

My question is whether I can use the on board video of a Mac IIci
or other Mac, or another card to drive the Ehman. My clients are likely
to get a color monitor in the future, and if I could get the color
card now and use it to drive the B/W monitor, that could save us some
$$. Perhaps only a special cable is necessary.

Thanks in advance-
Rich

I was just glancing through the latest MacWeek (Yes I finally got a free
subscription) and was looking at the color monitors and drooling. :)
Anyhow, has anyone out there had any experience with Lapis and/or their
monitor cards?  It sounds like a good deal for my SE/30 to get an 8-bit
color card that can connect to a 15" NEC Multisync VGA monitor.  Might
not be cheap, but it has to be better than a standard mac monitor price.


Thanks in advance.

Well I don't know about SyQuests (beyond my Dad having a 44meg one)
I do know that IOmega's Bernoulli drive is an excellent deal.  It can
be gotten in many places for $650.  You get a coupon for a free disk.
They also have the best service of ANY company I have ever dealt with.
I brough my drive (it is portable) to Nova Scotia and it got damaged
in transit on the plane.  I called IOmega and the NEXT DAY I had a
new drive on my doorstep!  Just a couple of weeks ago a friend of
mine managed to break the spindle in one of my disks.  Bernoulli
replaced it free.  (Unfortunately my backups are in Canada)

Anyways, I think that the Bernoulli is faster and it certainly seems like
a great deal with me.  Like I said, I am very impressed with the company

I seem to recall a comparison between these two a while back (a year,

I would like to know what people think of them.

Also, the local store prices them at $329 for the Stylewriter, $399
for the HP w/o cable.  Those seem good, but I've been out of touch
with prices for the past year.

I don't know about the NEC, but many of the CD-ROM drives that can

multi-session.

Your Mac should have been supplied with an adapter to take a standard pair of
phono plugs into the jack socket on the Mac. This is balanced for standard
line levels.

The output jack can be used as a stereo line output, if you take it to a
pair of phono sockets yourself (or use an adapter from your local audio shop).

Hook your Mac up to a decent pair of speakers and you'll feel the difference!

After posting to this bboard and getting many replies, i came to the
following conclusion [expanded in prev mssg]

The HP DeskWriter is the best deal for low cost mac printing.
1. 300dpi, consistent
2. approx a page or 2 per min
3. if you ever need postscript, you can use Freedom of the Press [retail ~$80]
4. Three year warrenty

i bought mine from MacDepot [1-800-222-2808]
including tax, shipping AND the cable: $415

Its a hot item these days, so call while they still have them in stock!

Every response I got to the original post suggests options
that I said I had tried.
I tried: Setting to black and white
	Setting cache to max
	Shutting off virtual memory

Also both machines have identical system and software.
The SE/30 is running two monitors, with one in full color,
so it's not because of the 9 inch black and white.


I can get some more speed (not a whole lot) from the IIsi
by doing everything mentioned above but it doesn't do me
much good because with only 3 meg of RAM I can't run Word 5.0
and Equation Editor at the same time without slowing it down
with virtual memory.

$150???  I bought my 512K VRAM for $69 and that was last August!  You should be
able to find a mail order place selling for under $70 now pretty easily.  Not
only that, but you can sell the 256K VRAM you take out for about $25 to a
Quadra owner so they can upgrade their own video.

I agree about the worth of it though.  16-bit color is GREAT, and if you have
a 13" or larger monitor (or 12" mono) you really should have 8-bit to enjoy
your mac.  Question though:  Does anyone know if you can plug a 16" monitor,
such as the Apple one, into an LC or LC II with 512K VRAM?  What will you
get?

If I remember correctly, the Quadra comes with 4MB already soldered on the
mother board and four empty simm slots.  Thus with your current memory you would
have 20MB on your ci.  Of course if 20MB is still not enough memory you could
put 16MB chips is the slots giving you 68MB of memory.  Hope this helps.

2)  Using NEC 5FG with Quadra 950 + NEC FG8X video card.

I was foolish to buy the NEC FG8X video card and now consider 
buying the Quadra 950 which support 17" monitor.

I wonder if I can gain anything using the NEC 5FG on my Quadra 950
WITH THE NEC FG8X Video card?!  I plan to use 24-bit so what I have
to do now is to see whether to upgrade the VRAM on the Quadra or
the VRAM on the Video card.  

If I don't gain anything, then I better sell my video card and upgrade
the VRAM on the Quadra.

Please reply!



P.S.  I am using the video card on the IIsi now.

Beat this... the UK Educational price for the quadra upgrade is the
equivalent of more than $3400.
