Although I seldom see any need to add to Richard's posts (who would question
somebody smart enough to live in Oz?), I'd like to point out the following:
Option Part No. Resolution Refresh Monitor
MX PMAG-AB 1280 x 1024 72Hz VR319-DA
CX 8pl PMAG-BB 1024 x 864 60Hz VR290-DA/VR299-DA
HX 8pl PMAGB-BB 1280 x 1024 72/66Hz VRT19-HA/VRT16-DA
HX 8pl PMAGB-BD 1280 x 1024 72/60Hz VRT19-HA/
HX 8pl PMAGB-BF 1280 x 1024 72Hz VRT19-HA
PX 8pl PMAG-CB 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA/VRT16-DA
TX 24pl PMAG-JB 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA/VRT16-DA
TX 24pl PMAGB-JB 1280 x 1024 72Hz VRT19-HA
PXG 8pl PMAG-DB 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA/VRT16-DA
PXG 24pl PMAG-EB 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA/VRT16-DA
PXG+ 8pl PMAGB-DB 1280 x 1024 72Hz VRT19-HA
PXG+ 8pl PMAGB-DD 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA/VRT19-HA
PXG+ 24pl PMAGB-EB 1280 x 1024 72Hz VRT19-HA
PXG+ 24pl PMAGB-ED 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA/VRT19-HA
PXGT 24pl PMAG-FB 1280 x 1024 66Hz VRT19-DA
PXGT+ 24pl PMAGB-FB 1280 x 1024 72Hz VRT19-HA
I just wanted to point out that in addtion to resoulution, the refresh rate
of the CX won't match the VRT19-DA. And then I thought, well...why not give
them the full list. The part numbers are all Field Installed graphics options
(so they are what you would buy as add-ons). I apologize PROFUSELY for using
North American part numbers for the monitors, there just wasn't room to put
all of the variants in.
I seem to remember that the 60Hz variant of the HX was intended to allow
people to keep their VR299-DA type monitors, but I don't see it anyplace in
my documentation. The HX is configurable (on the cards I have) to refresh rate
by means of jumpers on the card. And remember that the baseboard graphics of
the PDS5000/xx is only 1024 x 768 and uses the VRC16-DA monitor (I believe
that's an XVGA equivalent).
I hope that this helps (I don't think there are any typos in the list, but
I didn't think I'd screw up the KA630 discussion either...sigh).
Thanx,
AJ
