I had similar questions re the CPD1302 and VGA. I tried several cards and
had switching problems, ie. If I adjusted my controls for VGA sizing when
an application required EGA I lost screen real-estate.

Through the net I found out that Sony had an upgrade that fixed the
problem. I had Sony apply it. It is supposed to turn the CPD-1302 into a
1302-A. The upgrade consists of installing/replacing 2 resistors at $0.35
each and a labor charge of $95.00. With tax, I paid $95.75 :-(

This weekend I plan to get the Ahead Systems VGA card to try with my NEW
SuperDuper Sony CPD-1302A (upgraded)! I will let you all know what I find!
