The LC is listed as having a 16MHz, 32-bit CPU. 32-bit what? Data | bus? Address bus? Is this thing more like a MSDOS 286, 386SX, or 386DX? | 32 bit CPU (i.e. 68020) and 16 bit data path | 3.) If I only have 2Mb and System 7.0 needs 2Mb, how big of a file will I be | able to handle in Word 4.0? Will I be able to copy small picts from other | applications to a Word document? | Don't know, but you should buy more memory. I have 4meg in my LC (running system 7.0) and that's just enough memory to display a few 256 color GIF files simultaneously. | 4.) I will be purchasing a MSDOS machine and would like to use either the | NEC 3D or Sony 1304 with it. These monitors are multisync monitors and are | advertised as being compatible with various MSDOS video standards and Mac II | video. Does this mean that they will work with the LC also? Both have | options that are needed to interface them with Mac's. What are they? How | much more do they add to the purchase price? | Yes, they should work with the LC. I think all you need are Mac cables. No 'special' interface needed. MCCC (313-941-6500) has cable for both of these monitors. | 5.) I've seen lots of cards to increase the number of colors available to | Mac II's. What about increasing their resolution to 800x600? | The VRAM upgrade should give you 256 color on the 13" HiRes monitor. | 6.) Will a LC shutdown like a Mac II. Will the monitor shut off with it? | Can the LC be turned back on via the keyboard? | No. No. and No. ... | | Hope you can answer some of these questions. Thanks in advance | =Mike -- == Michael K.
