- No, it's not true. It seems to be a *very* popular misconception,
- but I've not seen any Apple literature that claims the IIvx can
- drive a 16" monitor using it's built-in video. The IIvx uses a
- video chip that's a derivative of the one in the LC and LCII,
- and the highest resolution it will do is 640 x 480. Same with the
- IIvi, naturally.

- Take a look at the October 1992 Compatibility Chart, or the book
- Apple Facts 10/92, if you have access to those.
