Hi all,

I have created an album of photos from my recent restoration of a Quadra 700:

Nice, and a Hebrew keyboard again.

Is this LCD screen connected to your Quadra 700? With the built-in graphics card? And if so, what resolution is the screen? 19"?

What kind of resolution do you get from it? Isn't it either 800x600 or 1152x870? It doesn't look like either of those.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the picture said it's a 650. I only saw you used the same keyboard. But still, what kind of resolution do you get from the Quadra 700 on a VGA monitor (with adapter)?

my q700 does pretty high resolution, 1152x something.

however the extra video card that is in there only does 640x480 but @ millions of colors.

in this case my onboard video is better … 🙂

but can it do 1024x768 on a (15") LCD screen? I read somewhere it can't, just the two resolutions I mentioned?

Even though 1024x768 is less than 1152x870.

That's a 24" Samsung monitor, and both the Q650 and the Q700 give 1152x870 when connected to it. The adapter has switches which are supposed to change the resolution, but I get the same results whatever configuration I use. I don't really understand how this is supposed to work.

I really want to max out the video memory of both Quadras, because they are both limited to 16 colors at that resolution.
