Hmmm, no, not as far as I can tell. When you connect the external color monitor you get the choice of grays or color, up to 256 levels, but only monochrome for the internal monitor, both of which are then usable at the same time. Some stuff on the net says this also, and I have not yet found the manufacturer's spec sheet or manual.A question?
Can you use both the internal monitor in grayscale and an external color monitor at the same time?
That would be cool.
I'd like to add that finding those boards was totally unexpected; I had not been thinking to upgrade my stock SE/30s. But each of those boards is neat in its own way, and renders pretty sharp images. Keep in mind when you load some really big jpegs or picts and try and display them, you will immediately understand why more SE/30 MIPs by accelerator card are good also! And when you consider the time and money if you are not lucky, well, the Pismo starts looking better and better instead!
Still, I will always be sentimental about the SE/30 in particular, because of long work and hobby association with it as a user. When I put in those boards and took those pictures, it was like taking out someone from a retirement home for a spin in a sports car and for a moment helping them see through young eyes again. Maybe it's just me, but another cool thing is just viewing the Apple Spec Database on any Compact. For that machine to be seeing/presenting what followed, all that engineering, all the lives touched, that all evolved from that humble package, well, that's kind of amazing too, even in monochrome! [
