Hello All! I will be buying a IIsi in the next week. I have not decided on the monitor yet. I am really hesitent to get a non-color monitor since I may want to preview in color before I print in 4-color separations. However, it would be an advantage to get a full-page monitor. But, I can't spend mega bucks on this! I can get the 12" color from Apple for $359. What other monitors would be a good deal? (Do some -- such as the Radius-- not work on the IIsi. How many slots do I get? Does apple's monitor take a slot? Could I run both Radius and the Apple monitor off of the si and still have slots free?) -Rich

Any monitor that works with the apple 8 bit display card will work with the built in display on the IIsi. This is good since the IIsi has only one expansion slot. Any monitor that requires a special display card will use up your expansion slot, and in order to use it you'll need to buy the NuBus adaptor card. If you want to use the above mentioned monitors at separate times you might be ok, otherwise you won't have any expansion slots left. I have heard of a product for the IIsi that is a box with 6 NuBus slots that plugs directly into the slot in the IIsi without the adaptor. If you find that you need more slots you might look into this, or look into getting a IIci instead. nate@casbah.acns.nwu.edu Nate Berggren ACNS Student Consultant Northwestern University
