However, I don't think this means that you can hook up an EGA only monitor to a VGA card (or a VGA monitor to an EGA card) : not referring to the multi- frequency monitors. Cannot answer the other questions. Venu P. Gopal UUCP: att!ihuxy!vg55611 Internet: vg55611@ihuxy.att.com BITNET: com%"vg55611@ihuxy.att.com" or com%"vg55611%ihuxy@research.att.com"
