Do you think this monitor will connect to (and work with) a standard VGA port on stock PCI ATI Rage cards that shipped with/or was an upgrade to Old world Macs? If so, I guess it should also work with the stock ATI Rage 128 cards that shipped with the B&W (PCI) and the Sawtooth (AGP)?? I have all three systems with ATI cards I'm and looking for a monitor upgrade most likely for the B/W or the Sawtooth and hand down the older monitor to one of the Old World Macs. --glen (digest) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
