Please excuse an ignorant question from an Apple-impaired person (PC's only); posting for a net-impaired friend. IS there any way a PC-compatible monitor can be used with an Apple II ? Special hardware/software requirements to interface it ? Is it cost effective ? In absence of that possibility, is there a good source for low-cost monitors suitable for text work ? Oh yeah, can you share a single system between the two monitors with ajunction or switch box of some kind ?

I remember a device that you could hook to a //gs that would allow it to use IBM digital RGB monitors, but, alas, too, I can't remember where it was, or how much it cost... Apple makes a real nice composite color monitor that displays 80 column text fairlly well... Better than the Samsung comp color monitor that I have hooked up to my //gs/VCR... As for sharing montitors, that depends on if it's an RGB, Composite color monitor, and what you want to share them between... ---- ProLine: steveb@pro-novapple Internet: steveb@pro-novapple.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-novapple!steveb ARPA: crash!pro-novapple!steveb@nosc.mil
