Mac Video and SVGA Monitors

I've got some questions for the video gurus on the list. Like a lot of folks I have a pile of old Macs, and a pile of old PC hardware around the house. More Macs than monitors for them, and 3-4 excess PC SVGA monitors. I have an Apple Basic Color Monitor that came with an LC-II, and a High Res Col

Re: 086s

A 500meg HD and 16megs RAM will be plenty for System 7.1, even 7.5.5, in lots of 68k Macs. With a IIci it would be easy and cheap to bump that up to 20megs RAM by adding four 1meg SIMMs that lots of PC shops will almost give away. (Ask nice and they just might give them away for free.) > - Or

Re: 086s

I have used PC SIMMs in Macs without any problems. Not bad for a $1, but I wouldn't do too much Windows stuff on that. 16MB RAM just not enough. If you are willing and daring, try Linux instead. Don't waste time with X. Can get a decent machine using Linux. R. - Original Message - Fro
