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.
