[comp.sys.ibm.pc] EGA on a Compaq

rwb@bene.UUCP (Bob Beveridge) (03/08/87)

I recently purchased an NEC multisync monitor for use with
my Compaq portable. The monitor displays CGA output better
than any other color monitor I've seen, partly because the
monitor allows you to "squeeze" the display, compressing the 
text and makeing it look more solid. However, I would like to 
get an EGA card for the Compaq, but I get conflicting stories
from various dealers I've talked to: some say you can't use
an EGA card in a Compaq portable, others say it works just fine.
Has anyone out in netland actually gotten an EGA card to
work in their Compaq ? Any problems ? (I don't mind if the built
in screen doesn't work; I'm only interested in driving the Multisync.)

thanks..........n
