Thanks for the info... i think this could be the cause of my applecolor
100 being not as clear as it should be, i had no cable for it, it is
a 15 pin so i hooked up a 15 pin cable used for a GS would that effect
the picture quality....?   If i could find the correct cable where would

Also where can i get ahold of the Ramworks III rgb piggyback card.....?
are they spendy....

thanks......
