Macintosh II: Old and New Video Card Part Numbers, Etc.



The Macintosh II Video Card specifications seem to have changed since August
15th. After looking in the Finished Goods Price List, the part numbers have
actually been replaced. The cards use to be M0213 and M0322. We need to know
the changes that have occurred because the video output on their projection
monitors now is blurred.

Actually, Apple part number M0213 is the Macintosh II Video Card 4-Bit
Expansion Kit and Apple part number M0322 is the new Macintosh II 4-Bit Video
Card. The Macintosh II 8-Bit Video Card is part number M0324. The old 4-Bit
Video Card's part number is M0211, and the old 8-Bit Video Card's part number
is M5640.

The new video cards (M0322 and M0324) use pin 4 to detect the type of monitor
attached to the card, and this feature is probably the cause of the problem.
