DO NOT buy a Nutmeg card for an SE, the software needed to support
the monitor crashes 'PrintMonitor'.  It's an INIT called "Visions" and when you
have Background Printing ON it will crash for you MOST OF THE TIME!!...

I am told that software patches will ALWAYS be required
for Plus/SE Nutmeg cards, and if such patches aren't compatible with
System software, well... it's pathetic really.

As far as I know the Classic does not have a slot for such a card,
so the answer to your question is an easy one....   NO.


Also, the poor old little Macs just can't handle the extra refreshing
required by bigger monitors.  It is SLOW believe me.
