Howdy all... I've got a small request before the holidays, as I'm considering a purchase but want to check out the wisdom of the net before laying out the $$$. I would like to obtain any and all information people might have regarding the Samtron 431v2 VGA monitor and the 8-bit Oak VGA card as applied to a 10 MHz XT compat. Information on what I can expect this setup to do and not to do would be greatly appreciated, as I don't know much about PC's and displays. Are these reasonable items? Are they a waste of money? What would be a fair price (new)? I'm told that the Oak card (with 256k) will do 640x480 with 256 colors. Personally, this seems like quite a trick, cuz the display would have 307200 pixels coming from 256k RAM. Perhaps they meant 640x380? Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
