We are putting together what will be an interactive touch screen system using
authorware using Mac 840AVs (already purchased and in use) and need some advice.

The system needs to allow the user to "tour" information consisting of full
motion video full screen from a Pioneer laserdisc as well as full screen
graphics (24-bit) from the hard drvie.  We'll need to drop a 1.7 or 2 gig
harddrive into the final presentation unit for storage of images and software.

Our questions:

        1.  We need to find a 14" touchscreen monitor for display and this
            seems to be a problem at this point.  We have two Mitsubishi
            Diamondscan monitors already set up for touchscreen use that we
            have been using on an IBM-based system (as well as the software
            to run the touchscreen with Mac), but the monitors are not
            compatible with the 840AVs.  This was a surprise to us, since
            Mitsubishi told us this would be no problem before we bought
            the 840AVs and sent us the cables that they said would work.
            They've since said "Opps ... sorry.  Won't work."

            Has anyone been able to get these to work with the 840AVs?

            Any recommendations for other 14" multisync touch screen monitors
            that do work with the 840AVs?

        2.  What graphics cards should we put into the 840AVs for full screen
            video?  We're looking at Truevision's NuVista+ cards and are
            pretty sure that they will work, but need to make sure before
            ording (my boss is real unhappy after the Mitsubishi incident).

Any/all recommendations/suggestions/advice is appreciated.

Post or e-mail (as not to clutter up the list).
