My CC currently has an LC 550 motherboard in it (with 36M RAM, and added
VRAM). Will the card work with this setup?
Yes, the LC550 is a supported model. The IIe card is a fun upgrade for the CC because it will allow you to run thousands of new applications.
IIRC, the card only works when the memory is in 24 bit mode. Can I boot
the machine in 32 bit mode if I don't use the card? If so, the machine
doesn't burst into flames or anything drastic if I forget to reboot in 24
bit mode before trying to use the card, does it?
The CC will happily work in 32 bit mode with the card installed. Put an alias to the Memory control panel on the desktop to remind yourself to change modes.
I've currently got the cable for the IIe card , and it appears to have a
floppy drive connector on it. Can I use 5 1/4" disk drives with this
card? How about the DuoDisk? Unidisk? Standard Mac 800k 3.5"?
The platinum 5.25 disk drive (A9M0107) or white Unidisk 3.5" drive (A2M2053) work in addition to any built-in 3.5" Superdrive. No other floppy disk drives will work. Don't forget to look out for a joystick.
Since I installed the 550 mobo, I now have two choices for monitor resolution, 512 by whatever, and 560 by whatever. Does this card work with either setting, or do I need to remember to switch the resolution when I switch the memory to 24 bit?
Screen resolution will not matter.
If I put this card in and decide I like it for more than a novelty, will
a SCSI to Ethernet adapter work with it? Any recommendations as to models
or brands?
The SCSI ethernet will work fine and be faster than LocalTalk in both Apple IIe and Mac modes but slower than "real ethernet".
Well, this is all I can think of for now. I'm sure more will follow,
Check the FAQ for more info: http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/lc_card_faq.html. If you have any queries, mail me here or privately and I'll see if the FAQ needs updating.
