I was thinking they got away from that after the first few years. Of course, this card is a 1991 model. > that made it unimportant/impossible to always match > scrren and printer size. It's possible (NeXT, NeWS, Display PDF on MacOS X) and very important. Even X is getting there now. I thought the QuickdrawGX stuff was supposed to give you something at least close to that on MacOS 7/8/9. > Anyway, if your adapter has the sense pins set for > 640x480, that's all you'll ever get with any Mac > videocard that supports the sense pin coding.

My Radius 24XP displays 832x634 (it's maximum resolution) on my Sony 400PS just fine, and the PowerMac does 1152x864. This is nothing but a connect-the-pins adapter. The card I have (I got the other IIci out of storage) says Radius Precision Color 8-24X. It has an NEC ROM on it that says "NEC MacFG" on it. LEM says this card does several resolutions up to 1152x870, wether it's 8 or 16 bits. Now that I have the Mac out of storage, I can swap parts around and test some drivers. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
