Hi everybody,

Is it possible to use a 16" colour monitor from a Sparc-station IPC
on a PC with a SVGA card. I spoke to an engineer from SUN microsystems
and he told me that the monitor can work in two resolution modes with
vertical refresh rates of 66Hz and 76Hz respectively. The monitor has
all standard inputs - R-G-B, h.sync, v.sync. Any suggestions and ideas 
will be much appreciated. Also, could anyone recommend a reference where 
i can find specifications of the various PC video modes in terms of 
resolution, supported refresh rate, etc.

Thanx in advance!

Valtcho
