Slight correction, for those watching the thread -- I should really be refering to an "expansion slot video card for the PB1400". This was an option on the 1400; unfortuanately, not one I own -- shucks. All that sits on the back of this machine winking at me is a very blank looking hole -- actually with a port cover on it.

The Apple 8 bit video card allows use of stacked RAM, so a >pair of 24 Meg cards can be used with them. VERY helpful, since I have stacked RAM.... So I'll be searching for an Apple 8 bit video expansion slot card.... (wouldn't that have been a super downer if I got the wrong one...) >I also run an Apple Presentation unit, which adapts the Apple VGA video out to >allow connection to regular televisions.

Will watch for this as well.... so that when I get back into a classroom I'll have the option. I take it that this is yet another "connector" that fits into the VGA Connector... Geesh, by the time I'm done with this PB1400 it's going to be one souped up machine :-) those of you who have been here for a while have probably seen me slowly fillling in the pieces.... for my wife's as well.... It stems from a commitment to promote horizontal technology, rather than vertical, which emphasizes forced obsolescence.
