Hello !

I have an IBM 8514 on IBM's Model 80 up and running. When you only
get VGA resolution with PM, then you don't have a 8514-monitor
connected to your 8514!

The culprit is the connector of the monitor! IBM has used coding
which enables the 8514 to check what kind of monitor is connected -
and there are three different monitors it will recognize:
VGA monochrome
VGA color
8514 HIRES.
The default is VGA color. So if your monitor is capable of
displaying 8514's high resolution of 1024 x 768, you
have to configure your connector to 8514 standard.
This is the same connector ( submicro 15 pin ), but different
pins are connected. Best you buy a preconfigured cable.
(The coding is acutally done within the connector and *not*
by the monitor!).

So long ... Oliver Kluge
