However, to use the 80 column mode of the C128,
you'll need an RGB

converter. Unfortunately, few monitors support the composite video
needed for the 40 column/C64 mode and the RGB modes, but they're worth
it if you can find'em.
If you want 80-column _monochrome_ (which I did for my bench setup since I
didn't have an RGB monitor handy to test these units with) it's not all that
hard to make an adapter cable to use. A fair number of different mono
monitors worked with this.
