[comp.sys.mac.system] questions: 32-bit QuickDraw, modem port

bobhall@techbook.com (Robert Hall) (11/20/90)

a
Two questions have arisen following an upgrade from an SE 1/20
to a IIcx 5/40 with an 8-bit color card:
 
 1. Is there any advantage to using the 32-bit QuickDraw utility?
 Any reason not to use it?
  
  2. Is the IIcx modem port electrically different from the SE modem port?
  (I checked the pinouts--theyUre the same.)
   
   The reason I ask is because the Novation Parrot 1200 bps modem that
   works fine on the SE doesn't work on the IIcx. It won't dial: it goes
   offhook, but that's as far as it gets, and I have to cancel. The Parrot
   gets it power from the modem port. I believe the port is OK, because
   I can plug in an ImageWriter and print. I'm baffled.
