Here are some IIci questions:

If you buy a 1Mb IIci, and want to use the built-in video 8-bit video,

(a) What is the CPU slowdown (%) due to cycle-stealing?
(b) Isn't the resulting system memory (1Mb - 640*480 bytes)
pathetically small?

So doesn't that mean you must buy 2Mb of memory to use the built-in
video?  I wonder if the built-in video is cost effective AT ALL on the
IIci??  Or is it just a heck of a lot faster than any Nubus video
cards on the market?
