- Yes, it is possible. I purchases an ATI VGA Basic-16 video card and plugged
- it right in. That was all I had to do, no jumpers, etc. The board is smart
- enough to disable any onboard video. I like the card alot. Best thing is
- it was fairly cheap and is 16 bit so I can use it in another machine when
- it is time to junk my ps/2 model 30
