- Yah, I've seen ads for systems that apparently give you 8-color
- (Classic) QuickDraw through the SCSI port. How do they work? Will
- any of them give you two distinct screens, or does the quasi-color
- screen just mirror the 9-inch screen?
-
- I _hope_ all "SCSI screens" that attach to a Color QuickDraw machine
- will make every effort to appear normal, and that includes putting
- themselves into the GDevice list. Are you aware of any that don't?
