I have trouble understanding why there isn't an adaptor which will do
what the Compaq computer does - that is support both monochrome and
graphic display modes on a high resolution b/w monitor (e.g. the IBM
Monochrome monitor).  And I don't mean just any graphic modes.  I mean
IBM's "official" graphic modes - all of them.

I understand that a new board from Everex (Mountain View CA ,
(415)967-1495) called the Graphics Edge will do just what I (and
probably many others) am looking for.  But, the board isn't out quite
yet.  The June 5 issue of PC Week magazine has a tabulation of many
display adaptors for the PC.  If anyone can answer my query as to why
the "obvious" board doesn't seem to exist, I would appreciate it.  I
understand that a Tecmar board comes pretty clyose to my requirements,
but involves manual switching to change display modes.

Thanks,
Jeffrey Stone
