I'm looking out for a reasonably priced 15 lcd display because the natural resolution is 1024 x 768. That should work with the Radius 8XJ NuBus video card in my Mac IIfx! I want to see OS 6 on an LCD! BTW I modified the Radius card by first de-soldering the Mac video connector. I then used

Mine's a Total TechnologiesĀ© UnimacĀ adapter with 8 DIP switches on row A and 8 more on row B. A2 and A3 are on, as is B7, everything else is off. I was wrong about it displaying resolution options (at least under System 6), it just defaults to 640 x 480.

A few answers ! 1. I am using onboard video, but was just educated about early mac monitors. Guess I need an adapter for my 14 inch AOC multisync. 2. RAM has never been upgraded from what was in it when I purchased it. I have removed the chips to see if a bad chip was the source of the problem.

An LC or an LCII makes a great little headless server. To get around the need for a monitor to boot, I made a small flat-bottomed U-shaped jumper out of a paperclip, just large enough to short pins #7 and #10 on the monitor connector. That makes it think a 640x480 display is attached. I don't
