I found an old IBM PC with a label that says 3270 Personal Computer, It
also has a monitor labeled 5272 Color Display.  What are these?  I was told 
that the monitor was a PGA monitor.??? Never heard of these, is this
possible? But when I try to install any software that wants to use CGA/EGA
or VGA it fails.

Also is this monitor compatible with any other CGA/EGA/VGA monitor cards, I 
would like to run it on an old XT if possible.


Any help will be appreciated.

Please e-mail all responses.

Thanks,
Bryan
