Ken, FYI about older AV macs: NuBus AV class macs can't simulscan. That is, when outputting video, it's either output through the AV-out _OR_ through the regular monitor. One or the other, but not both at the same time. Of course, if you use a dual-monitor setup using the on-board video, that might not be a problem for you... The Power Mac 8500 is the same way. I don't know about the 7500/7600, but I'd guess they behave the same as the 8500 (their more expensive sibling). (Actually, I seem to recall that the 75/600 series don't have video-out at all, but I could be wrong). Pretty sure the Performa (5xxx/6xxx) line doesn't have video-out either. OTOH, the 8600 and Power Mac G3/AV can simulscan. Just in case you were still thinking about getting an AV Mac... I've got two - a 6100AV and a G3 MT/AV. I LOVE the video functionality of both, and the G3's RCA audio-out is pretty useful in a mid-range Hi-Fi system for digital audio playback.
