Do such cards still exist? That's a 13W3 connector and there are adaptors available to connect to the normal Mac video out. > 3) WHO used these things back in 1989 and WHY? Mostly print media like newspapers and magazines. Graphic designers used them for layout and design. They were also used in Computer Aided Drafting. Color proofing used to be done by specialists so the layout people didn't need color, they just needed HUGE SIZE for precision. You also didn't need color if your print jobs weren't done in color. Might check around and see if there are any clubs nearby that might want a dirt cheap setup to spiff up their newsletter. A vintage Mac plus a two-page and an old LaserWriter work just as well as they did 10 years or more ago! :) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
