I am planning to purchase a Mac IIci to run A/UX, and I have a couple of questions I would really appreciate some advice on: Someone told me that if I wanted to use a color monitor, I would have to get a video card because using the built-in video on the IIci along with A/UX would overload the system and give poor performance. Can anyone confirm or deny this? What is the preferred tape drive to use with such a system? I would like to be as standard as possible; i.e. be able to order publicly available software on tape cartriges (DC600???). The Irwin 5080 80Meg drive was recommended. Is the RAM Cache card worth it for A/UX? Does anyone know of a good source of inexpensive large (300 meg +) SCSI drives? Please reply by e-mail, and I will summarize, thanks. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Jeff Mann Inter/Access Artists' Computer Centre, Toronto [416] 535-8601 | | ...uunet!mnetor!intacc!mann intacc!mann@nexus.yorku.ca mann@intacc.uucp | | The Matrix Artists' Computer Network BBS: [416] 535-7598 2400 8N1 | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
