Barnett) Distribution: na Organization: GE Corp. R & D, Schenectady, NY Lines: 16 Apple has recently changed the part number for the 8 bit video card for the Mac II. The new version is different from the old version. I have the choice of getting a Mac IIcx with the old video card, or waiting for the new video card - whenever it comes in. What is the difference between the old and new? Does the new card provide better reliability? Is it a better design? Or is it just a different color? Does anyone know the difference? I'm willing to wait a few weeks if I am going to have less problems after the warranty -- Bruce G. Barnett a.k.a.
