Trying to find a VRAM upgrade for my Performa 575 - suggestions welcome
Posted by: Huxley on 2020-07-10 04:37:06
Hi guys! 

I'm having a blast getting my 'new' Performa 575 kitted out and running smoothly. I was up late last night getting my new external SCSI2SD configured - took a few tries but I've now got it partitioned with System 7.6 installed from CD, which is great. I've also installed an Ethernet PDS card, though I don't know yet if it's working (the LED is on which is a good sign at least).

I'd like to max out the VRAM on this machine so I can get "thousands" of colors vs. the 256 it can currently do. I swear I saw VRAM sticks for this machine being sold new somewhere recently but for the life of me I can't find them again - can anyone help lead me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Huxley
