[geeks] WTB: Laser printer

[Andrew Weiss]

Do you need to upgrade the 840's on-motherboard VRAM?

Andrew

BTW I sent you both fb's the Radius Precisioncolor 24X and the Supermac 
Spectrum 24 Series V.
I also sent the AV card for the 8100

I figured you didn't need the Apple High-Rez card (only 8 bit)

Regards,
Andrew
