I have a Rainbow 100B, 896K, graphics, etc. I am curious about monitor and hard-disk options for the Rainbow. Does anyone know if a NEC Multisync can be connected (I realize some kind of converter would be needed to match the cables, but how hard can that be?). What about CHEAP hard-disk upgrades? Any suggestions? With regard to the question about graphics editors: I found one called XPRESS on a FIDO BBS about a month ago. It looks to me like a first draft of Windows Paint for a Rainbow, but the accompanying docs claim that it is free for the taking. DRAW and COLOR-MAGIC are the only others I have seen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marty Zimmerman, Univ of Idaho, Moscow, ID USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------
