- Well... I've just digged out the video board out of an old 2024, and
- hooked it up to my Eizo t560i, works great! Before doing such things,
- check the specs for you monitor, the 2024 board outputs horizontal
- scan rates of around 56kHz, so for example don't try this on a Nec3d ;-))
-
- Although this solution is a bit `hacky', it works great, and 2024 should
- be available rather cheap at the moment...
