Funny, I just got a MacIIx myself and things are held up while I wait
for a video card. How did you make the actual physical connection between
these devices?
While I'm here, can anyone tell me about the compatability of the
color X server with the Xceed NuBus video card? Does anyone know of a
source that sells 4MB, 30pin SIMMs with PAL? (Note: I know where to get
them without PAL, but they won't work on a IIx then. Unless I pay $100
(which I can't afford at the moment) for a SimmStacker II.) Lastly, what
is the performance like of a 8MB RAM BSD system? I ran the i386 port on
8MB once, but gave up when that particular PC had problems recognizing the
modem I wanted to use. Oh, that brings up another thought. (This one will
be the last, honest!) Which modems can I use with NetBSD (or even OpenBSD)
which will help set up a PPP connection to my ISP.
Thanks in advance for any and all answers! :)
