Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get grayscale from a b/w monitor on a sparcstation 1? Ideally, I'd like to run one of the standard option b/w monitors (17" or 19") on the 8-bit frame buffer in a color sparcstation 1. If this is possible, could 2 monitors (both b/w and color) be driven simultaneously from the same sparcstation by splitting one channel of the video signals after leaving the cpu cabinet? And finally, I'd like to hear comments regarding the quality of the various monitors available with the sparcstation. In particular, is the convergence on the color monitors good enough so that my eyes won't be fuzzy after spending a full day reading text on several windows open simultaneously (ie, small point-size fonts)? Are the large monitors significantly less crisp than the small monitors? Thanks for your help! Dan Field ...!calgary!arcsun!dan
