It is, but radius made some SoftPivot software to let you use the pivoting feature without a special card, I dont know quite what video cards it works with. Maybe only the Quadra onboard video? No clue. >2. Does it require a special card? I thought it would, but then I've heard >that this type of monitor can also me used on a PC which would suggest >otherwise. No, but it did originally, and special cards were made (like for the SE/30). >3. Does anyone know of I place I can learn more about these things?

The Pivot FAQ used to be up at www.radiusvintage.com, but that's dead now. try www.archive.org? >4. Is there anything else I should know? The display is so old it's probably unusably dim.

If it doesn't work, keep it, someone on the compacts list would probably love to get their hands on it. If he wants an unreasonable sum for it, better let him keep it. Odds on getting it to work with the 9600 aren't good enough, and the monitor itself isn't too great to begin with. -Tyler -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
