The 7200 uses the Catalyst board which should, if my memory serves me properly, have an ATI Xtreme video card which should drive a range of resolutions and colour depths, even at the base 4Mb. I therefore think what you are talking about is a limitation of the monitor and you will need an Apple Multiscan 17" or similar to change to the resolutions you want. These can be picked up second hand.

The two serial plugs for modem and printer are the basis of the usual peripheral connectivity but you will also have Ethernet 10/100 and SCSI. there are devices which can extend the range of the serial bus I believe but it rather depends on what you want to connect and how fast the data transfer needs to be. if you can connect to your printer with ethernet or SCSi it will free up the serial port. It should take a PCI USB card but you will need to check whether the OS can support the card at the sort of capability the 7200/90 has. I think the machine s really maxed out at OS8.6 and though OS9.1 will work it is like watching paint dry.

1. I have a 7200/90 with an Apple Display Monitor, with only
one resolution, 640 x 480, 67HZ. There is no choice. I recently downloaded
Sigma Chess but cannot play it on this monitor for it requires a higher
resolution 800 x 600. Is it possible to increase the resolution preferrably
with some software.
2. My modem is connected to the serial port. How can I add more devices
without discoennecting the modem? Is it possible to create usb support.
