I have a monochrome amber monitor and a cga emulator card right now,
actually a mono graphics card.
Now,I have a program that needs true cga to run.
SInce cga cards have a 9 pin connector xlike my monitor has,can i plug
it in and get cga on my mono monitor?
I think cga has 2 colors right?
ALso,would i set my bios to color instead of monochrome once i hook
it up?
Please leave mail as soon as possible.
