This is something I've been wondering about for some time.  I have a Microtek
Rainbo 256, which (I thought) outputs to an analog RGB monitor.  On the other
hand, perhaps the 8-bit format color code given to the card by the program
is just passed thru to the monitor?  

I wonder just what the "digital" vs "analog" formats are for these two types
of monitor?  Is the video image itself digitized in the interface to a 
digital monitor?
