Monitor ID is not used by all adapters. Paradise does, Maxon and PaeLit do not. See your manual for other brands. 2. Reverse Monitor ID bits 0 and 1 for monochrome monitor, if your VGA card recognizes them. Monochrome monitors use green line for all video. 3. Sony pin map assumes digital/analog switch in analog position. 4. Transposing hookups does no apparent harm, but doesn't work, either. ------------------- END ------------------
