[comp.sys.apple2] GS Monitor

Will a GS monitor work with VGA on an IBM? I am thinking of moving over to
unix on a '386, and was wondering if at least initially I could save some
money by using my GS monitor. Does anyone know the highest pixel size it will
support? (I'm using it on my Amiga right now, so I know it can go higher than
what the GS drove it to.) No flames please...

        Thanks, 
           Kirk

Well, I hate to surprise you like this, but your Amiga is driving it in the 
same resolution as you GS does, as long as it isn't in interlace mode. The 
Resolution for the monitor is only 640X200, so it would not be able to do 
VGA graphics on it. (i.e. 640X480)
