[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] VGA cards and monochrome monitor

I noticed someone else is looking in to this also.  As far as I know, a
VGA card can be used on a monochrome monitor.  One potential problem is
that many cheap monochrome monitors (like mine, a Samsung) have TTL
input, whereas all VGA do not have TTL outputs.  I believe the ATI VGA
Wonder will work on this setup.  I'm hoping it does, at least, 'cos I'm
planning to order one.  Does anyone know anything more on this?  I called
a few places,  and they now seem to be stocking something called the ATI
VGA Wonder Plus.  Does anyone know the difference?  Will this card still
work on my system (PC/XT clone, TTL mono monitor)?

Thanks!
