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
