I am currently putting together an Apple ][+ system and have no
monitor. Any suggestions/hints/reviews on monitors (mono and color)
and 80 column cards would be much appreciated. Any of the same about
vendors and mail-order houses would be VERY helpful, too.
Thanks in advance!

The Applied Engineering Viewmaster 80 is very nice. Perfect Videx emulation, with a built-in soft-switch for 80 column mode. The only disadvantage I've seen is that some software (Locksmith fast copy) will accidentally set the soft-switch. This is no big problem since the card has connections for a 40 column override switch. I paid $120-140 for it about 2 years ago. I got it from Silicon Express, I've ordered from them several times, and they are cheap, fast & reliable. I don't have an address or phone number handy, but they have ads in A+ every month. (PS Anyone want to buy a MockingBoard Stereo sound/music & speech board? It hasn't got much use since I bought my Amiga a year ago.) -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 540 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 UUCP Address: {ihnp4,ucbvax,decvax,allegra}!decwrl!esunix!blgardne Alternates: {ihnp4,seismo}!utah-cs!utah-gr!uplherc!esunix!blgardne seismo!usna!esunix!blgardne
