- Well, I hope someone else can help out here, but I'm reasonably sure that
- the 5151 is IBMs standard green-screen monochrome that used to ship with
- PCs and XTs, and the 5175 is a CGA (but might be EGA). If the 5175 screen
- is *really black and mirror-like* when not turned on, it's the CGA, and
- if the screen is rather grayish then it's the EGA. I've got an IBM EGA
- monitor at home, I'll check the number and follow-up to you.
