Rather than |setting up another desk I wouldn't mind setting the pc under my desk. When |not in use I would store the keyboard on top of the pc. | |I run into problems with the monitor. Can a pc with an ega card successfully |drive the applecolor RGB monitor? I would like to set up a switch to be able |to select between the pc and the GS. Am I talking nonsense? (Yes I considered |using a pc transporter but rejected this because it is too slow and I can |only get cga). Not with Apples monitor... actually you can't really with any monitor that I ko know of... however, you can get a monitor that can handle both CGA and GS graphics. Magnavox has a model (CM8135, I think) has inputs for TTL/digital and Analog RGB as well as Svideo(SVHS) or composite... it's $250 through mail order $25 for custom cable to use with GS, and has a 14" screen. I'm planning on getting for myself... I also have a GS and IBM compatible with a monochrome monitor for both computers... this monitor will allow me to have color on both machines...
