- On VGA monochrome, just fine. Both display and adapter should cost
- about $100. Stay away from TTL monochrome (e.g. Hercules), though.
-
- OS/2 2.x comes with two color schemes for VGA monochrome (or for
- monochrome notebooks, for example). Go to OS/2 System -> System Setup
- -> Scheme Palette, hold down the ALT key, and drag either one to the
- desktop after you've installed.

-
- Cornerstone makes one, I believe, as does IBM. I would opt for the
- VGA monochrome, though, and save your pennies for the large, color
- display when you can afford it.
