We just got a new lab in, and we're having some problems with the Model 80's
SCSI card and a Model 70's 8514/a display card.

Both these cards use the C0000 area of high memory in a place where our
Ethernet cards must sit.  Is there any way to move the memory location used
by these cards?  

Questions about IBM SCSI, just how compatible is it;  can I buy a 3rd party
SCSI drive and just hook it up?  What cables and formatting software would I
need to get?

We are running a 8515 monitor of the 8514/a adapter card, but it looks just
like normal VGA.  Is there any way to get it to display character output with
smaller fonts and higher resolution? 

Thanks, any help would be apreciated, we are pretty new to P/S 2's.
