[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Recommendations Sought on VGA Card

sip1@quads.uchicago.edu (Timothy F. Sipples) (05/26/91)

I would like any recommendations on inexpensive VGA cards which support both
analog and TTL monitors.  I would be using the card for a time with a TTL
monochrome monitor until I upgrade.

What cards have both 9-pin and 15-pin connectors?  Will they support all
EGA modes on a monochrome monitor?  Hercules?  With colors as shades of gray?
Will they prevent attempts to set VGA and higher resolutions and only allow
modes the monitor can handle?  Will they do CGA modes on a TTL monochrome
monitor?  Are they supported by OS/2 when operating in this manner?

Please reply via e-mail and I'll summarize if interest warrants.
