OK, Answering one by one...1) Where is the PDS Slot?
You should have 2 NuBus slots - and the one closest to the outside has a PDS slot pretty much in-line with it
2)It came with AAUI-15 ethernet but whenever I try to switch to ethernet it says an error occured
Do you have the transceiver plugged into it, and then the transceiver plugged into a network? If you don't, you won't be able to switch to ethernet...
3) The max screen res. seems to be512x??? how can I get it bigger?
Depends on the monitor you have connected :). Is that what it says in the Monitors control panel? Some of the older monitors control panels, especially say, 7.1 and earlier, won't recognise all resolutions on a newer monitor.
4)Is there any n-bus ethernet cards around(you know, the regular ones.
Yup - they exist :D
5)How many Hard Drive bays are there?
Just the one...
6) how do I get to the slots under the hard drive?
Take out the Power supply, then take out the HD/Floppy holder. There may be a screw in bottom of the cylindrical part of the HD holder - take that out first. The PSU also has a hole for the plastic HD/Floppy holder to clip into, which holds the PSU down. the PSU should slide upwards with a bit of wiggling once you release that clip, and the HD/Floppy holder comes out by pushing it towards the back of the 700
7) Can it accept a PPC upgrade card?(I know but I want to get it to run starcraft)
It can - up to a 100Mhz PPC 601. I have NO idea if thats enough for starcraft though :D
8)How much would be a 4x CD rom drive?
Probably cheapish - depending on what values of 'cheap' exist where you are *grin*
Quadras are da best!
