Digital BW, The Print

Michael,

My Formac wouldn't work at first because I had a Matrox graphics card - they
don't support Apple or Formac type LCD's. So I bought a nVidia GeForce 4600
and only had one problem; Optical uses its Optical Startup to write to the
graphics card at Startup. Unfortunately, the nVidia driver overwrites this
at the end of startup. The work-around that Colorvision suggested is simply
to move Optical Startup from the Startup folder onto the Desktop. Then when
everything has booted up and the nVidia driver has finished, you simply run
Optical Startup from the Desktop. Otherwise no problems - just make sure you
order the DVI version for PCs.

Bob Frost.
