- I have this beast at home running in VGA-mode 640x480x256. I use a ATI
- VGA Wonder+ w/512K. I originally used it on my AST Premimum/286 with the
- AST EGA Plus card. You'll need a cable with specicial pinouts to connect
- the monitor to your VGA card. You will also have to switch the TTL <->
- Analog switch from TTL (for EGA) to Analog (for VGA). You will also
- notice that while in MOST graphics applications (including Windows) you
- will get a full screen of data. In ALL DOS-based applications, the screen
- will shrink to 2/3 of full. You can make manual adjustments to correct
- this but NEC says there's nothing you can do about this.

- Lemme know what happens....
