It is definitely a standard res monitor. I think it's a G07. The
problem I can foresee is that that the monitor is 'tweaked' to make
1943 stretch across the entire screen. If I then switch on the fly to
Galaga will it be cut off at the top and the bottom because Galaga runs
at a slightly higher resolution than 1943?
Also.. it turns out that Darin at Phoenix Arcade has a vol2 board that
he is selling me which means that I am still in the market for a vol1
board. LMK via email if you have one you want to sell.
