We are considering buying several of the Mobius 2 Page Displays and
25MHz 68030 accelerator/display cards.  A couple of general 
questions:

1.	Does anyone know what the long term reliability of their Full Page
	display has been?  I know they use the Zenith tube, but I am 
	wondering about the other components.  The 2PD is relatively new,
	so I don't expect any reliability data on it.

2.	The SE is limited to 4MB of Finder-addressable memory normally.
	The Mobius accelerator allows up to 16MB on board.  Apparently,
	the extra memory is currently only useful as a RAM disk.  Are
	there any patches/inits around to make this memory available to
	the finder?

3.	Are there any other service and support agencies that can service
	the Mobius display besides Mobius?  In particular, I am looking
	for one in Vancouver, Canada.  Will Zenith servicing handle them?


Thanks in advance,

Eric
