I don't remember seeing any slots for "cards" of any sort when I had the
box
open. Of course that was last Thanksgiving. I just discarded a MAC (Nubus)
ethernet card. I figured I'd come to regret it, though I'm not sure it would
have made any difference. That was from a IIx from which I wanted to try the
PSU. There wasn't anything else of value inside, so it's gone, aside from a
few socketed IC's and the video card, which, I think, is a pretty typical MAC
video board.
This AppleVision monitor/speaker arrangement is pretty impressive. It uses
every bit of the visible screen area and the linearity is pretty good, as is
the focus and convergence. I'd like to wish it will stay that way for a
while. It's turned up all the way in brightness, though, and I dont like
that.
More questions below.

Well, I've always installed an Ethernet interface in my Macs by putting the
card inside the case and turning it on.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. My 7300 Power Mac speaks TCP/IP just
fine, and it has a regular 10baseT Ethernet port. It cooperates just fine
in a mixed network.
It's a serious security problem to use TCP/IP on a lan if one has an internet
connection. My LAN uses Netbeui and IPX/SPX. There's got to be a way ...
Plus, there are *many* Ethernet-capable Macs, even if it's just an AAUI
that needs a transceiver.
If you mean *AppleTalk* issues, many NT servers speak AppleTalk too, and OS
X.1 mounts NT shares natively as well as NFS, AppleTalk-over-IP and regular
classic AppleTalk.
Is there a "slick" way to exploit hardware that's already in the
Performa
630CD?
