           In a reply to my article on hacking monochrome CGA, 
           mcovingt@athena.cs.uga.edu ( Michael A. Covington) writes: 

           > I published, in PC TECH JOURNAL in 1985, an article about 
           > how to get true monochrome video from a CGA ... 

           The article, published in the July 1986 issue of PC TECH 
           JOURNAL, tells how to improve the appearance of the CGA 
           display on an RGB or composite monochrome monitor.  It also 
           includes information on how to select the alternate font on 
           the CGA card.
           
           My article, on the other hand, proposes the use of a 
           monochrome monitor with separate TTL sync signals for 
           displaying CGA output.  The modifications to the CGA card 
           are nearly the same, but the final goal is somewhat 
           different. 

           Mr. Covington, thanks for pointing out your article.  The 
           information it contained was quite interesting.
