In a flyer from Priority One Electronics (came with the August BYTE)
there's an ad for two VGA monitors, a mono one for $150 and a color one
for $460.  The former is claimed to work with "50 to 70 Hz refresh",
the latter 60 to 70.  The mono one has white phosphor and supports
64 shades of grey.  Both are supposed to display ALL the VGA resolutions,
up to 720 by 400 text and 640 by 480 graphics.

Question is: can either of these (or other VGA monitors) be used on
the ST, perhaps for BOTH the ST hi-res and med-res (and lo-res?) modes?
What would it take to connect them?

Any PS/2 experts out there?  (On this newsgroup? Nyaaa...)
