Of course, all of this is just a simple matter of programming, so you're right (:-}). For the SE/30, the internal video is "slot E", so the PDS is probably faked to be a lower-numbered NB slot. Therefore, there is some chance that the video board of your choice will work. At the same time, you should be forwarned that there are no guarantees about which 3rd party boards will work with A/UX. Let me know what you are planning to use. We or someone on the net may have more info. >Mark Purtill Regards, Justin Justin C.
