Re: video card in IIsi

IIsi, and it does *NOT* list the two video cards as monitors 1 and 2. IT only lists monitor 1-- the internal video. Since I am installing this onto a Macintosh IIsi, there *IS* only one expansion slot so I'm not sure how I can "move" it to a seperate slot, unless we are talking about

Re: video card in IIsi

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but it sounds like the IIsi simply is not delivering enough power to the video card, which is not at all unusual (it's NuBus slot delivers below-spec power). Check this out: http://www.lowendmac.com/roadapples/iisi.shtml "However, the II

I think if you hold down the Space Bar on startup, you get some kind of firmware monitor choice. I only had one of these in my shop over the years (I guess that's good news) so I don't have lots of experience. -- Matt Wheeler TechnicalMac Macintosh Consulting Services West Des Moines, IA [EMAIL

video card in IIsi

Hey folks- I just installed a Radius PrecisionColor 24XP NuBus video card into my Mac IIsi. I know the card works because I pulled it (working) out of a Quadra 800. However, the IIsi won't display through the video card. Is there something on the IIsi motherboard I have to do to disabl
