I got my Digital VR-290 monitor to work under Win95 using a <a
http://www.worldwyde.com/a3d.html>Worldwyde Avalanche 3D card.</a> I got
the monitor for $1 at a flea market, got the card for $119 plus $23 for
the BNC cable. Now I've got a nice 19" 1024x768 screen for a fraction of
what a new 19" monitor costs. Just wanted to post this in case anyone
out there was contemplating doing something similar.

Thanks, Mike.  At least some company is now selling affordable cards
to work with the VR-290, and maybe even other fixed frequency
monitors.  When I last checked, a couple of companies were ripping
people off for around $300 for a card with a cheap chip, small amount
of memory, and a custom BIOS for fixed frequency.  Sounds like
Worldwyde has gotten real... Ben Myers

Just use a Matrox Millennium card.  They do sync-on-green!
I'm using a Mill II with a Mac Radius (monochrome) monitor in Linux.
