- There are at least two possible solutions. You can buy an Envisio board
- (available for the 100, 140 and 170) which is an internal card that has
- a special plug (in the older versions) or a standard 15 pin connection
- that you can hook right up to your monitor. This costs around $750.
- WARNING: There is a limited list of monitors that this will support.
- Things like the Radius FPD won't work. Envisio will send you a fax of
- what monitors it does support if you ask them to.
-
- Second solution: The Radius Power Portrait. This plugs in to your SCSI
- port and will drive most monitors. It runs for about $550.
- WARNING: This will slow down the reaction time for movement of items on
- the screen, a sort of lag.
