The TurbosPort 386, not the "386/e", only handles double scanned CGA (640x400)
The 386/e has a VGA video card.

The fact that the FTM Z-1492 is a VGA monitor has very little to do with the
quality of its output.  This depends on the video card.  Thus, should the FTM
pins fit your CGA adapter, you should get CGA output.  For some reason, I
think you should have trouble connecting the two given that the FTM expects an
analog output.  But I may be wrong...

I hope this helps
