Yes, it has built-in video. BUT...it's not quite that it won't run color X
if you *have* built-in video...it's that it won't run color X *on* the
built-in video. They're close, but not entirely the same. You could use a
video card to get color X or you could wait 6 mos or so for Mr. Zucca to
get to a releasable state on the 520 with his intvid code. It's just a
random guess on the date...I have little clue what info he has on your
video architecture. I just know that it's a bit after the IIvx-like macs &
the AV quadras.


The one important thing that I'm unsure of, though, is the amount of PDS
support that we have. Not having a PDS Mac, I dunno what video cards there
are & what ones we support.
