I've got something in this machine that the Monitors cdev says is a
"Macintosh Display Card." It gives me 4-bit grays on the Apple Two-Page
Mono Monitor, and the copyright notices on the board say 1990.
It has a pair of weird SIMM slots (they're *almost* the size of IIfx
SIMMs, but they aren't) which appear to be for upgrading VRAM.
Does anyone recognize this thing? It's an Apple product, it can't be
*that* weird, can it? I'd like to get 256 grays on my two-page monitor.

There is a VRAM upgrade for it (to take it to 32-bit on the 13" color display), however it may be listed as a 4*8 to 8*32 upgrade... =============================================================================== | Glenn L.
