Since I bought an accelerator and it came with an extra SE logic board with a DPD card, I have been trying to figure out what to do with this whole setup. Since this is nearly a complete system and uses an external monitor, perhaps I am better off not squeezing it into my SE? It is not really so "compact" anymore if dwarfed by a 19" DPD. Anybody out there have experiences with 68k hackintosh in nonstandard cases? Could be easier, but also easily ugly. But might allow me to do something creative.
And on the video end of things, what kind of monitors do people recommend? I have heard that old NEC and Sony multisyncs are handy, but there are hundreds of models from those companies so it's tough to discern which are the earlier varieties. The only monitors I have which are old enough that I would suppose might be worth hacking on to old Macs are an Atari ST monitor I never use, and the wife's PCjr. I need to go the garage sale route here, because shipping would be too costly, especially for some heavy thing which might not work in the first place.
Anybody know if a Lapis DPD does greyscale, or monochrome? And speaking of monochrome, any opinions on color usability? Macs are obviously B&W, but my first computer experiences were green through the family VT180 terminal, and I liked it, but it was only for text, not graphics.
Is that the time? Gottoruntowork!
