- No FPU, there are currently only two devices to drive a color monitor or
- external for that matter. They are the Raidus PowerView and the Envision
- Display Adaptors. The Raidus is a external box that uses the PB's SCSI
- port. The Envision is acually a card that fits into a memory slot. It also
- has options of 'on card' ram, 2, 4, 6 I think. There has been some
- discussion about the relibility of the envision cards though. I _DO NOT_
- have first hand experiance with either of these. I am reluctant to give
- list prices out on the net.

- You can get an 80 with the 145 (from apple). I've yet to hear of third party
- internal drives for the PB. You can always use the SCSI to hook up external
- drives.
