    I'm looking for some help/advice on Mac video cards.  I've got a Mac II
and an NEC MultiSync XL.  I need a video card which will allow me to use
the NEC monitor with my Mac II.

    The NEC MultiSync XL is designed for use with (and comes with a video 
card for) the IBM PC.  It is a 19" monitor which will display 2^24 colors
and up to 1024 x 768 pixels.  And, as the name implies, it is a multisynch
monitor, so it can handle a wide range of horizontal and vertical synch
rates (although, I do not know its bounds right now).

    What I'm looking for is a video card which will give me as much resolution
as possible, preferably the full 1024 x 768.  I like color, but it's not
necessary (I know: what a waste of a good monitor).  Finally, the card must
be available for under $1000.

    I've tried several computer stores.  They're either too narrow minded
(we don't sell NEC monitors) or too ignorant (you can't use that monitor
with a Mac) or both.  I even tried calling RasterOps (yes, we have frame
grabbers for the Mac, but what is a video card?), and NEC (sure, we have a
video card for that monitor; is the Macintosh an AT-style or MicroChannel
bus?).

    I'm certain that there are several video cards which do what I want,
but I can't find them.  All help will be appreciated.

                                          Thanx,
                                            kurt stoll
