I decided to get a tvga8900 for mine, as fiddling with 15khz ttl is
just too flaky and problemmatic. Having a real cga/ega monitor would
be cool if I could justify the cost and the space, but a native fix is
an isa vga card so that's my solution. I'm refurbing a 5170 for use as
an imaging tool, ISA tester, etc.
Best,
Jeff

I delivered in a truck to the set up in Quebec the 20
IBM XTs that
you see
in the movie Xmen the Apocalypse. I retrieved them
after the
filming. I
could set up an office or classroom of XTs. A funny
if not
impractical
practical joke

That is awesome!
