Anyone - is there a way to get the IIci to use more memory for video or is this a hardware limitation?
I believe that it is a hardware/firmware limitation. However, it wouldn't be a good idea for performance reasons. Using system RAM as VRAM means that system RAM gets a hammering every time that the screen content changes, slowing down any application that shares that RAM bank. Use the IIci built-in video for ad hoc use, but install a NuBus video card if you are going to use it a lot.
