OK, I didn't know that any extensions or control panels were required...

I refuse to run System 7.x on the IIsi because it is bloatware and runs considerably slower on this old a Macintosh. In fact, I just downgraded from 7.1 to 6.0.8 a few weeks ago for this very reason. The Quadra 800 is running System 7.6.1. I will try installing any extensions to the IIsi I can find on the Quadra that might relate to the Radius video card and see what happens. Hopefully, it will work. Otherwise, it looks like the IIsi is going to get Ethernet, instead. On that note, i have two Ethernet card candidates for the IIsi. One is a MacCon+ IIET and one is a MacCon+ Rev C SE/30 / IIsi. Obviously, the latter will work in the IIsi. I am wondering if the IIET will work and if so, which is a better choice to use? Anyone?
