I've got an original IBM PS/2 Display 8512 (the 14" one) for VGA. However,
I heard this monitor will not do 640x480x256?  Is this true?  I'm looking
to upgrade my 8-bit original IBM VGA card to a 16-bit clone card...therefore,
should I only get a card with 256K since 512K will do me no good with this
monitor?
