I'm sure that MCGA graphics (320x200x256/262144, I think) can be handled by the GS monitor. It isn't so much the monitor as it is the PC Transporter hardware. AE would have to engineer this video standard into the board along with writing some firmware to support it. I hope that they do implement some IBM graphics that are better than the currently supported CGA (yuck). Perhaps they will make an extended graphics board for the GS that would be supported by the PC Transporter as well...that would be interesting. -- Dave Seah | O M N I D Y N E S Y S T E M S - M | Internet: dseah@wpi.wpi.edu | User Friendly Killing Machines | America Online: AFC DaveS "MY GOD!
