Hello! I'm new to Vintage Macs (the list, anyway.) ;) I just got a nice SuperMac Thunder/24 NuBUS video card and I have a couple of questions about it. I put it in my IIci, and it forms very nicely, but I suspect it would run much better with the proper software versions. I am presently using SuperVideo CDEV v2.7.x (not sure precisely of which version beyond 2.7). I want to install v3.1 or at least v3.0, and the Image Processing Accelerator v2.5.6. Here's my 2 questions..
1) Each file I DL for this card comes as (filename simulated of course) file.smi.hqx. Presumably a binhexed Self-Mount Image. I decode the Binhex, and it magically (evilly) turns into a .smi.sit. So I figure, sure, it was just misnamed at the end, so I run it through Stuffit Expander/Lite. Lite can't open it, Expander ignores the file and does nothing. They're not really SMIs, Disk Copy can't mount them. 2) It has 4 Memory Slots. For the heck of it, I put in 4 memory modules from my IIfx. The Mac wouldn't turn on at all (just clicked), so I removed them and it booted fine. What sort of VRAM does it really use? :) Thanks! -- Epicenter -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
