Our group is going to get some macs, and if we squeeze costs, we can
get IIs instead of SEs. One place to cut costs is the monitor and video
board. Although color is very nice, we really don't need it, and, in
fact, monochrome would be fine for everything we do. Looking around,
though, it seems that Apple's video board is the cheapest around ($350).
Does anybody know of a board that I missed?
Also, if anyone has recommendations for a good and inexpensive 13"
monochrome monitor, I would love to them. Given the large number of monitors
available in the PC world, there's got to be some good ones that will work
with, say, the Apple video card.
Thanks for your help.

I tried my NEC Multisync, and had to push the switch over from ttl to analog. It seems that I remember something about that monitor being one of the first in the DOS world to use analog signals. Today's NEC multisync is not cheap, and as you say, you don't need color. I didn't mind giving up color at all for a large crisp monochrome monitor. Good Luck Shirley Kehr
