I have trouble understanding why there isn't an adaptor which will do what the Compaq computer does - that is support both monochrome and graphic display modes on a high resolution b/w monitor (e.g. the IBM Monochrome monitor). And I don't mean just any graphic modes. I mean IBM's "official" graphic modes - all of them. I understand that a new board from Everex (Mountain View CA , (415)967-1495) called the Graphics Edge will do just what I (and probably many others) am looking for. But, the board isn't out quite yet. The June 5 issue of PC Week magazine has a tabulation of many display adaptors for the PC. If anyone can answer my query as to why the "obvious" board doesn't seem to exist, I would appreciate it. I understand that a Tecmar board comes pretty clyose to my requirements, but involves manual switching to change display modes. Thanks, Jeffrey Stone
