I dug out the 81/110 User's Manual, which doesn't mention ANY video card shipping with it. When i got mine it had, of all things, a SuperMac Thunder/24 VidCard in it! ::) . . . found the auction printouts too . . .

There's some nonsense on LowEndMac about it having come stock with a SCSI II card installed, but there isn't any mention of either a SCSI or VidCard in the User's Manual listings of "what's in the box," or specs which included either one, while there was a page devoted to the resolutions supported by the onboard video. I'm sure they got it mixed up with some of the VideoVision accessory specs, one of which was something like a JackHammer card and HDD array, which I didn't win when I bid on one back in the (early 68kMLA) day. But I think I snagged some of the shots and specs from that auction.

I'll be looking for a SCSI II card for this thing, I've already found a SATA to SCSI II adapter to use. That alone wil be another $80, but it will be useful for playing with lots of my NuBus Architecture (and earlier!) Macs running at standard 8MB/sec SCSI I speeds!

I must really be nuts, using a 19 year old Video/Sound digitizing system in a 16 year old computer . . .

. . . but what the heck, it's WAY cool! [:D] ]'>
