is faster only if you are in black and white mode. 4 bit planes starts pushing it, and forget 8 bit planes. In fact, a normal color display and 8 bit planes using internal, takes significantly longer to update than an Apple 2 page using 4 bit planes driven from a card. From: sharp@cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Maurice Sharp) Path: cpsc!sharp As to memory, if you are using the internal you better have at least 2 meg, I have 5 and am only tripped up using Smalltalk. In fact, I am getting 4 more megs. My full page takes about 64K per bit plane. The other display I use is a full page, it is also very fast in black and white. Anything else starts to dog down the machine. Maurice Maurice Sharp MSc.
