One of the advantages about Apple's migration from NuBus to PCI cards is
that you can use cards designed for PC's, and these tend to be cheaper.
Now, I want to run a second monitor (basic Apple 12" greyscale) on my
PowerMac. Does this mean I can waltz into my local PC shop and buy a basic
PC card for about fifteen quid, or do I in fact have to buy a Mac one
which will of course be three times as expensive?

And what about driver software? I had a very basic Radius NuBus card in my
ol' Quadra which didn't need any software to make it work. Can I hope for
that happening with a PCI card?

Help me out now you people!
