In article <2847@husc6.UUCP> you write: > >I suspect the lack of Color Quickdraw in the SE was an intentional crippling >of that machine. After all, if you could buy an SE and a color card, why >get a Mac II? This is, of course, only my own sorely misinformed ignorant >opinion, and I don't want to start a flame war. > It's OK, no flame. But consider... ...Color screens take a lot of memory. In order to store a full 256 color screen on the Mac II, you need at least an additional 300K of memory. This is the memory on the video card. ...Have you seen the Mac II, with its 16 MHz 68020 update its screen? Its not incredibly fast in 8 bit mode. Want to to it on an 8 MHz SE with its 68000? ...There is also probably a problem getting quality color screen in quantity. These are just my ignorant guesses too. I've never really asked why CQD wasn't implemented on the SE. -- Keith Rollin Sales Technical Support Apple Computer Stupid Disclaimer: I read this board for fun, not profit Stupid Quote: If god had meant man to fly, he would have given him plane tickets
