	The Seiko monitor has a 8514/a mode which is the 1024x786 mode. This
	monitor is INTERLACED  The manual I have for the ATI VGA Wonder says
	that it is also INTERLACED.  This is what I hate  about those big
	reviews in PC Magazine.  They compare the VRAM and the ATI Wonder and
	then say that the vrams on the VGA VRAM do not help make it any faster.
	They fail to mention that the VRAM is NON-INTERLACED.

	NEC has a card with the TI34010 graphics co-processor on it that will
	do 1024x767x256. I believe it costs about $1200. A 1024x768x16 version
	is availiable for about $800.

	The 8514 "standard" specifies INTERLLACED.

	The only card I know that will do 1024x768x16 NON-INTERLACED is the
	VGA VRAM. Of course there are probably others.

	Now, I want to know if the Mitsubishi FA3425L9 is interlaced or
	non-interlaced.  If it is non-interlaced this would be a fantastic
	monitor.  BTW, non-interlaced is what you want.  It kind of sounds
	like want you don't want with that _non_ in front.
