I have a mac IIci and could REALLY use NTSC output. Apple released an unsuported INIT that installed a driver into the apple video card but the version I have does not support the IIci's built in vidio card. Does anyone have an updated or patched INIT that works on the IIci? I don't really want to spend a couple grand getting a NuBus card for this since I don't think I would use it enough to justify the cost. (Yes, I have checked around town and no one has a system with this capability although I could use someones mac II with an ordinary video card with the INIT but I don't think I would get enough speed). -- +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ +=+ j.surine@Wichita.NCR.COM (Jim Surine) /\/\/\/\/\ NCR Peripheral Products Division, Wichita Kansas / / /\/\/\ \ \ work (316) 636-8586 home (316) 721-6280 / / / / /\ \ \ \ \

Well, I just talked to COVID, cause we output to a large screen using their model 700. What they told me though, might not help you. The scan rate of a ci (we are using the internal vidio) isn't decreased by their device, it just gives up red/green/blue/sync or mono from the input right out of the card (it is pass thru so the ci's monitor still works). So if you have multiscan it might help. The list the person at COVID (1-800-638-6104) gave me is $550 which seems high anyway. A local dealer quoted me: $525. This is not a big savings over a card is it though? And anyway, they said that it wouldn't work with VCRs. Brian -- Macintosh related: mac-admin@cs.umn.edu All else: aslakson@cs.umn.edu
