$The 8515 is capable of resolution up to 1024x768 w/ 256 colors
$if it is attached to an 8514/A adapter.  PC World Aug. 1990 pg. 88
$states that "IBM does not, however, support 800 by 600 super-VGA
$operation."  :(

   Why should they?  IBM doesn't make any super-VGA adapters, and we all
agree with IBM that nobody uses non-IBM hardware, right?

   Personally, I wonder why anyone would buy IBM hardware in the first
place.  IBM hasn't had a PC that's on the leading edge in the IBM PC
and compatible market since the 8 MHz AT, their products are overpriced,
they keep coming out with machines that aren't 100% compatible with
their previous products, and their hardware is not as reliable as that
of many other manufacturers.
