Yes!  I had the same problem.  The NEXT problem that I had, after obtaining
the lower-end card (-A or -B, can't remember) was that my wonderful huge
DEC monitor that worked with the PMAG-C didn't work with the card.  So...
double damnation!

Does anybody have info on what DEC monitors work with which DEC cards?

Has anybody tried tweeking the internals of the monitors to get them to
work with other cards that they're not supposed to work with?!?
