I've just about decided to add a color capability to by AT&T 6300.
The two alternatives which come to mind are 1) replacing the mono-
chrome monitor with a TAXAN 630 (which I've seen advertised at 'bar-
gain basement' prices) or 2) disabling the video controller chip and
acquiring an EGA card/monitor.  The common attribute shared by these
two alternatives is that either would give me a current color capabil-
ity.  However, the TAXAN is only good on my current system not upward
compatible as would be an EGA combo.

Question: would an EGA monitor, particular one of the multi sync ver-
sions (like the NEC), be compatible with the current video controller
and obviate the need for the TAXAN while giving me an upward compati-
ble expansion path?  Would I need someone to cut me a cable and, if
so, what would be the pin assignments.

Thanks in advance -- I'll summarize any responses I get.
