I have a few questions about big color displays:

(1) Can the NEC Multisync monitor be used with the Mac II?  I've heard
it may be hard to get a cable.  Does anyone selling the NEC monitor
provide the appropriate cables?

(2) The NEC mail order price seems very good ($549 BYTE) -- how is the
image quality?  How does it compare to Sony Multiscan?  Is the Apple
monitor really a Sony Multiscan, or does it have a fixed scanning speed?

(3) I'd like an expandable-to-color MAC II display board.  The SuperMac
color board look good, but the list price is steep ($795 for 4-bit
color, $795 to upgrade, or $1495 for 8-bit color -- you can't upgrade
on your own without Supermac's color chip).  Has anyone seen a
lower price?  Will this board work with a Multisync-type monitor at
800*600 pixels?  It supposedly works with many monitors, including Apple's.

Reply via e-mail.  Thanks.
