I have an Epson Equity LT laptop that has a CGA screen. It has a CRT port in the back that I would like to hook up a monochrome monitor to. Is there any way to do it? I originally didn't think so, but a friend has a desktop computer (Hyundai) with a CGA card and he has an amber monitor hooked up to it that works fine. Any ideas? Also, does anyone know what it takes to upgrade an Epson Equity LT with two floppy drive to a hard drive system? Is the controller already built in, or do you have to purchase that as well? Does anyone produce a hard drive that can be used besides Epson? Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Frohman texbell!digi!mfrohman OR mfrohman@digi.UUCP OR mfrohman@digi.lonestar.org

Some monochrome monitors are "dual-mode", that is, they support the scanning frequencies of both the MDA/HGC and CGA adapters. These don't cost much more than regular monochrome monitors -- not a bad deal. Offhand, I can think of the Samsung MZ-4571 (I *think* that's the model number) as being one I've heard good things about, and costing ~$100. --Lee ==doron@cs.cornell.edu========================================================= = ".Sig! .Sig a .sog! .Sig it loud; .sig it .strog!" = ========= -- Karen Carpenter with a head cold =================================
