Three questions for ATT 6300 owners:

(1)	Has anyone out there modified their ATT 6300 to disable the internal
	video board?  Done properly, this should allow any of the standard PC
	graphics cards to be installed: e.g. IBM EGA board.  Ideally, this
	modification should be switch selectable between internal and
	external displays.  To run with the EGA will, of course, require
	another Video Monitor.

(2) 	Has anyone found an acceptable non-ATT, (cheaper than the $750 that ATT
	wants), color monitor that is a drop in replacement?  One ad I saw
	mentioned that TAXAN had one.

(3)     I've heard that the Hercules board will plug in and run with no
	modifications, anyone tried that?
