YUP, INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW. Hello there, Well, I just tried version 3.0f3, Jul-28-89 of Timbuktu, and it will *not* function unless a monitor is attached to the IIci, or you have a video card installed in the IIci. If you have a video card installed, you do not need to have a monitor attached to it. If you have a monitor attached to the built-in video port, then disconnect it after the IIci has started, Timbuktu will function. This is with system 6.0.4 (of course), and using EtherTalk 2.0 (not that Ethertalk should make a difference). Hope this helps. -- Jim Kateley UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc, mtxinu, dual}!apple!kateley S,P,HnS!
