Thanks Thomas. I have all sorts of monitors in the shop but nothing that seems to work on the monochrome port. I noticed that pin 7 is the video output. Is it possible to connect that to the video in of a more modern monitor? For example I have Commodore and other monitors with A/V (not composite) in. I have an NEC Multisync (original one) which I feel should work but it’s not getting the signal. I guess I need to fiddle around a bit more with it this week.

Yes, monochrome and color cards (including VGA) use different address spaces and thus can be run side-by-side with two monitors. Many DOS-based IDEs use this for debugging, e.g. Borland’s IDEs. At the DOS prompt you can use “mode color” and “mode mono” to switch between the monitors. Best, Thomas F.

All —
I’m working on another project (with an early version of Windows) and for debugging on my AT, I need to run both a monochrome and EGA/VGA together. I’m quite rusty on this because I remember doing this long ago but it might be pre-VGA.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
