a couple of questions: 1. Has anybody tried one of those "nubus extenders" which is supposed to give the 2si something like...4 more nubus slots? how well does it work? how much does it cost? and most importantly, how does it deal with the limitations of the power supply? 2. i downloaded (from sumex, or umich or somewhere) a program called "video card utility" which is supposed to provide a RS-170 compatible (supposedly this means regular composite video), flicker- free image out of a normal Apple 8-bit video card (after building the proper cable). Is there any way to get such a thing to work with the built-in video of the si? (Right now the thing complains about a missing board). The docs say that pins 5 and 6 on a DB-15 connector of a video card are the signal and ground, repectively, but my docs have those pins assigned to green.video signal and ground, respectively... if i just plugged a vcr (or monochrome monitor) into those pins, and put my computer in monochrome mode, would i be risking severe frying? or would it provide me with really cheap video?? (hope hope hope...) So...thanks a lot for your time... post or e-mail responses...i don't care. Thanks for answering.... --Darryl 6600dayl@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu
