I had said that the NEC Plus has a resolution of 1024x768. I was mistaken. The XL has that resolution. The Plus has a 960x720 resolution. You as I had stated, you STILL need the Plus if you wish to use an aftermarket VGA board with (for example) 256x800x600 resolution since the NEC II only has a max of 800x560 resolution. Where I got this info was BYTE Feb., '88. They used a Sigma VGA that is touted to have 100% HARDWARE (not BIOS) compatibility to CGA, EGA, MDA, Hercules, and VGA (which is one of the boards the recommended in the March issue)!!
