Hi All, just picked up a Serial/Parallel OrangPC 220 for my Quadra 950 and, whilst it boots to DOS waiting for a disk, it won't try and boot a floppy disk in the mac drive. Is there some method to get a virtual floppy image running? I'm running 3.8.2 from the "200" folder in the usual archive...

Howdy, AppleVision is definitely installed and I even tried the "Apple Multiple Scan Display" install disks, but these just seem to overwrite files that were already installed by Mac OS 8. I then tried SwitchRes, but that didn't give me extra functionality. After a little reading...

I was hoping this monitor was going to have a Trinitron tube, but it turns out when I picked it up that it obviously wasn't. http://www.everymac.com/monitors/apple/multiple_scan/specs/multiple_scan_720.html Regardless, this worked fine with a PowerMac 7200, but the Quadra 950 can't go higher...
