- The video card is a standard ISA VGA card that should work in any machine.
- I have used mine in conjunction with a Western Digital 8514/A adapter
- using the pass-through edge connector.
-
- The monitor will work with any standard VGA card, but not SVGA, since
- it can only display 640x480 max. resolution. I have used the monitor with
- a basic Paradise (i.e., Western Digital) VGA card.
