The NEC Multisync II is capable of being driven to 1024x768, if you don't mind alittle magnetic interference. If you do drive it to 800x600 you will have to use to horizontal adjustment control to move the picture into the display area. Also there are no lines thrown away. The card that I am using is the STB VGA Extra/EM. -- Tim Smith North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105 UUCP: ...!uunet!ndsuvax!ncsmith | 90% of the people on this planet BITNET: ncsmith@ndsuvax.bitnet | are crazy and the rest of us are INTERNET: ncsmith@plains.NoDak.edu | in grave danger of contamination
