I have a Duo 280, with a Dock I, which has 512K VRAM in it. I'm trying to connect my huge 20" RGB monitor to it. At low resolutions, I get a picture, but nothing usable, then if I specify higher res using the cable sense (1024x768 +), the machine steadfastly refuses to output anything. Could this be because I need more VRAM - in other words, if I upgrade to 1Mb, will this cure my problems? Thanks! -- ---------------------- Adrian Taylor Computing Services Southampton University

The original Duo Dock built-in video goes up to 832x624 and no higher. Adding VRAM won't get you higher resolutions than 832x624, although it will get you greater bit-depth. If the 20" won't display anything below 1024x768, you need a different monitor, or a NuBus video card. Paul Durrant

Thanks! Looks like Santa should have brought me a NuBus card then! Any recommendations? Preferably fairly cheap! -- ---------------------- Adrian Taylor Computing Services Southampton University

I don't know if they still have any left, but it's excellent. 24-bit accelerated display up to 1152x870. Paul Durrant
