I have a general question for the world out there. Has anybody found and connected and extra large monochrome screen to an ST. Say about 19 inches or so. I have been using a Sun workstation at work and I really like having a large screen ( You can have just about two page-width windows open on the screen at 1 time ). I have a color screen, but for some applications, i find that i would prefer a monochrome. Does anybody know what kind of hardware or software restrictions that I might run into. I figure that I will not be able to increase screen resolution. Will that restrict the amount of screen I can address with a large screen? I figure that I might switch to MINIX when it comes out. Has anybody thought about putting a graphic interface into MINIX like Sun has done with Berkeley 4.2? I know it's not fair to compare an ST to a Sun 3/50 workstation, but after seeing their interface, i *really* like it.
