As long as you have an ISA bus & can find a CGA card (common as mud a few years back, don't see 'em very often now). You'll have no problems. You won't be able to have that card & a VGA card in the same machine though, although CGA & monchrome cards exist together nicely. Use both here on an old 286, print something to the screen on the mono then switch back to the CGA & I have a neato on-screen reference :-) Used to do the same with two monitors (40 & 80 col) attached to my C128. cheers, Lance -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
