        Sorry to be a pick, but monitors can be plug&play. While it is true that
many of the older ones are not, the newer ones can be, it is done very
easily by shutting off VSYNC and HSYNC and manipulating the other lines, a
non plug&play monitor will ignore these signals, and a plug&play monitor
will respond with it's capabilities. This is very similar to how parallel
port scanners and such devices communicate, it is all done by not utilizing
the strobe line, normal printers do nothing without a strobe. This is all
documented in better video card manuals, it is in my Matrox Mystique manual
and I am sure it is in others. TTYL
