Summary: NCR color monitor compatibility, PC-8 opinions

I am considering buying an AT clone made by NCR, the PC-8.  Two questions
to you clonaphiles:

1. This clone comes with a 640x400 color monitor, Class 3295 Model 0210.  The
   adapter card runs in GSS, an NCR graphics standard, and a CGA mode using
   a double scan.  Do you know if one can run EGA or AT&T type graphics with
   this monitor, and if so, what adapter card requirements/software
   requirements are there?
2. Is the PC-8 a good AT clone in the sense of compatibility?  Any problems
   with certain software, addin boards?

                          Thanks, Michael Mascagni, NIH
