This sort of bothers me in that I went for the Mod 30 before the 30-286
was announced and now I'm wondering if I'm going to be left out on a limb.
Does anyone out there know if it is possible to upgrade the Mod 30 to
support VGA graphics. As I understand it, my Mod 30 has an analog monitor so
it should be able to display VGA graphics.
