- Perhaps I don't understand the poster's point, but IBM has the 9517
- monitor which can be used by the XGA-2, and that monitor is
- noninterlaced at 1024x768. The XGA-2 card will do 800x600 (although
- the 9517 won't support that mode - but the NIC 4/5FG will) - at least
- that's what one person told me.
