Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the Apple 4/8 display card to an 8/24? Is it just installing more VRAM? If so, are there sources of the appropriate VRAM other than (cheaper than) Apple? Thanks. Bill Burrows burrows@milton.u.washington.edu

How about the new SIMM configuration they're bringing out? 512K and 2 megs.

It's a simple VRAM installation, as you guessed. We got our memory (Apple) via Businessland which was significantly faster and almost as cheap as the developers discount direct from Apple. -matt -- -matt (Jun 30 1989)

You can upgrade a Macintosh Display Card 4*8 to an 8*24 just by adding additional VRAM to the card. Apple supplies an upgrade kit as do several other independent third party VRAM suppliers. Michael Sands system extension group (408) 974-6108 novice driver, just my thoughts
