But, of course, MY PGA did. I've got a question
I've been dying to ask: Why
the heck do (S)VGA montiors have 3 sets of pins, and "older" monitors only
have 2? I mean, the increased performance, for sure, but so many of the
pins are "not used", or used for an odd purpose. Why not say put in 2
differnet plugs of 2 rows each, so that I could use my *surely* functional
SVGA when testing out old computers?
Think about it: If they didn't change the plug, system manufacturers would
be sitting on top of a bunch of unsold monitors, because the public would
be buying new systems and keeping their old monitors, just wanting a little
speed increase.
