                              640x400 mono  640x400 color EGA NOT DEB.
There are two cards that are being offered for the new machines.
They are the VDC400 and the VDC750.
The VDC400 is a CGA compatible card with 640x400 mono AT&T
resolution (Similar to 6300 internal Adaptor)
The VDC750 is a Multimode EGA/CGA video board which has all of the
modes of the VDC400 plus EGA modes of 640x350 16 color of a palette
of 64 colors and 640x400 16 color out of a palette of 64 colors.
These video boards work with the 313 monochrome and 318 color monitors
as well as with the new 319 color monitor.
Hope this helps.
