(VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA-VGA)

I would like to know... (15 to 9 pin terminators)

I have what I believe is a multi sync monitor.  It`s connected to a
Paradise 480 CGA/EGA card and all works fine!  I'd like to upgrade
to VGA... Ah! but there hasn't been a "non"-standard like this since
someone came up with something called RS-232.  In short, I'm looking
for schematics for the termination necessary to go from 15 pin
balanced pair VGA analog to the 9 pin analog (this is what my
monitor uses as input).  Ideally, I'd use the nine pin connector
found on some VGA cards.  However, I understand this to be only a
digital output, not capable of producing those 256 different colors
(or am I wrong about this?).  

While were are talking about VGA... (multi sync/8 or 16 bit bus)

What I'd like to end up with is a VGA card that's capable of
producing ~15KHz out for CGA, ~20KHz out for EGA and ~30KHz out for
VGA (yes, a multi sync card).  The card needs to run in my XT
look-alike, but take advantage of a AT type 16 bit bus when I
upgrade (as soon as I can find an excuse to upgrade!).  Memory
expansion to 512K Bytes would be nice, but this usually means the
+1000 dots mode which, I think, runs at a frequency just out of the
range of my monitor.  Any suggestions? (Vendors, mail order houses,
brands or further discussion...)
