- I don't know what you really saw at that dealer, but it wasn't a Mac IIvx
- driving an Apple 16" display from the onboard video. The IIvx _doesn't_
- do this. You might have seen the video being driven from a NuBus card,
- or a non-Apple 16" display being driven at a resolution of 640 x 480. The
- IIvx video hardware simply cannot generate the video timing needed to
- drive the Apple 16" display (at a resolution of 832 x 624). There was a
- post a few weeks ago from the Apple hardware system designer of the IIvx
- which confirmed this.
