- The phono jacks merely provide for external connection to whatever device
- might be connected internally to the feature connector. No composite video
- capability exists. The EGA will work with CGA display, a monochrome display
- and the Enchanced Color display. It will display up to 16 colors from a
- palette of 64 colors. Max graphics resolution (with the ECD) is 640x350.

- Horiz. scan rate (hi res) is 21.85khz, vert = 60hz., vid. bandwidth =
- 16.257, char size = 7x9pels, alpha modes = 0,1,2,3, graph mode = 10.
