New IIci

Hello, all:

        Yesterday, I received my first modern Mac, a IIci. It comes with 8mb
of RAM an Apple TokenRing card and the Workstation Display card (Apple#
630-4179). The monitor is the 12" hi-rez monitor. It runs System 7.0.1. I
have a few random questions...

        The workstation display card has a 13W3 connector on it. I
understand that if you use an external display adapter, you can reclaim some
system RAM by disabling the built-in video. Is this true? If so, How can I
connect the 13W3 to the Hi-Rez monitor which has a DB15 connector? I looked
in some catalogs, but there doesn't seem to be an adapter made for this.

        The TokenRing card is useless to me, so it's up for trade. I
installed an Asante ethernet card, but I still have to install the driver
for the card, which I downloaded to my PC. I'm going to use TransMac or
workalike to transfer to 1.4m diskette.

        What is the best internet browser for this configuration? I have a
cable modem connection, so dial-up is no issue.

        Like I said, it has 8mb of RAM. I have a few random 30-pin PC SIMMs
laying around. Can I typically use these? What should I watch for?

        The ci also has an X-eyes-like application that shows-up on the menu
bar. I looked in the usual places for where this could be installed, but I
can't seem to find the file. There's also no configuration menu to disable
it. If I can't find it, no big deal, but I'd like to disable it if I can.

        Again, the token ring card is up for trade. If anyone's interested,
contact me off-line. Thanks again.

Rich
