Since they use software to do what the CGA does in hardware, they are slow but I have been told by many folks that they DO work. They are public domain, and have been flying around the BBS circuit since last Fall. I wouldn't think that you could easily run a monochrome monitor with a CGA, as the scan rates are different. Several companies do make cards that will show CGA graphics on a mono card tho, Paradise comes to mind. -- Paul Homchick Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc.; One Radnor Station, Suite 300; Radnor, PA 19087 {seismo!bpa | ihnp4!cbmvax} !vu-vlsi!cgh!paul
