On an XT-clone, I have a monochrome ($49, new) monitor connected to an old Parasise Autoswitch EGA 480 board. Runs monochrome fine with the mono monitor, works fine with EGA and CGA monitors (which I used to use it with) Eventually, you will want color, so I suggest you look for a used board like this. Oh yes, the dox for the board state you can connect a mono monitor. Since the board is autosynching, all you need to do is turn on the monitor before you turn on the computer and it work okay. Only prob so far: if I use a screen blanker, such as the one that is part of Desqview, the display goes haywire when blanking occurs, and I have to reboot the machine; so don't use a screen blanker with this particular setup. Incidentally, Norton's Utilities correctly identifies the setup as an EGA card w/256K
