As one of the few soles to have purchased the ill-fated Tandy 2000, I
now face an upgrade decision.  The 2k has served well, but I now have
the need for a true compatible at home.  I'm probably looking at a 
nice mundane AT-clone.  I'd rather have VGA graphics but I then
started to wonder ....

Does anybody know if the Tandy CM-1 color monitor can be used,
modified or otherwise pressed into service in a clone??  The
monitor was quite nice for its time and would seem quite capable
of EGA I would think.  But, I don't know enough of the EGA spec,
or for that matter the CM-1 (I have the hardware books somewhere
in the attic, I think) to tell for sure.

If anyone could provide further details or pointers I'd greatly
appreciate it.
