I'm considering moving to a IIci and I'm curious, can I have the normal color monitor active at the same time as a NuBus based 19 inch monochrome ?? Or would I have to reboot to switch monitors ??

(I currently have an SE/30.) You can have as many monitors active as you have NuBus slots. (This holds for all Mac II machines) We routinely run several monitors on IIci's here. (In fact, the exact setup you're describing) The 'Monitors' cdev will have a suitably sized icon representing each attached monitor. You drag the icons into the correct physical layout, and voila. You then have a 'virtual' desktop that consists of all the real estate of all attached monitors. It's quite slick. And entertaining too. Try putting windows half on one screen and half on the other (especially color ones) to impress users of other brands of machines. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.

I think you can have up to 4 monitors connected, even though it has only 3 slots.

Even better than York Peppermint Patties in the microwave. But seriously, if radiation bothers you, you might like to know that newer Apple monitors emit less radiation than ever before. And, Apple has already started eliminating the use of CFCs in the production lines. This should be completed in 1992. Your dealer will have more information, either at hand or on AppleLink. bill coderre part of apple's evil plan
