Models 747i/50 and 747i/100 function as single workstations, accepting user
input from single keyboards, but delivering graphics output to as manyas
three monitors.
The Models 747i/50 and 747i/100 have only one SGC interface. Upgrade
products may not be used concurrently.
The 745i/100 or 747i/100 systems and upgrades are congured for a 70
Hz refresh rate monitor. The so cket-installed 75.0000 Mhz crystal for
the fast refresh rate display is identied as Part Number 18130940. The
corresponding STI ROM is identied as Part Number 18185347.
