- Jeff, the monitor, CM-1 and VM-1 (mono), must be used with that video
- board. They are both special and you can't just substitute standard
- CGA monitor or card. It does CGA as but also supports 640X400 2 colour
- resolution. I believe the monitors sync at 25KHz.
- The graphics board can be setup to emulate _both_ a monochrome card
- and a CGA card.
