[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Color Monitor on a Mac SE

petersom@tramp.colorado.edu (Peterson Mark A) (02/08/91)

I am currently using a Macintosh SE with 4 meg ram.  I am curious if anyone
knows of a way to hook a second monitor up to the machine.  Preferably color
as I would like to get color graphics.  Also, can the SE actually handle
color graphics?  If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate if would could 
let me know.  Thank you in advance.

 You can definitely hook up a second monochrome monitor. For color, the only
 thing I'm aware of is a product called ScuzzyGraph (sp?). I think this gives
 8 colors. Sorry, I don't know the manufacturer. Perhaps someone else can
 help.

The ScuzzyGraph can be ordered from:
       Aura Systems Incorporated
       Box 4576
       Carlsbed, CA
       92008
       (619) 438-7730
It looks like an external (zero-footprint) hard drive and sits 
under the SE, connecting to the SCSI port.
The big drawback is that you get 8 lousy colors. 
Prices are as follows: 
        1024 x 512 display memory  -  $895.00
        1024 x 1024 display memory - $1295.00
        1024 x 2048 display memory - $1995.00
Aren't there any color video cards available for the SE's
expansion slot?

for these prices:
       1024 x 512 display memory  -  $895.00
	1024 x 1024 display memory - $1295.00
	1024 x 2048 display memory - $1995.00
wouldn't it be better to upgrade to a SE/30?
What is the educational price for this these days? Does apple still
give $$ for the old SE Motherboard?
