Herb:

I am donating a VGA paperwhite monitor. While the
normal VGA drivers will work, many of the colors
are indistinguishable from each other on a grey-scale
screen. The old Win3.1 games I'm giving with the PC
look horrible on this monitor. Red rockets in black
space look pure black.

A mono VGA driver will give contrast among the greys.
I regret I don't have a color monitor to give them.

Thanks for taking an interest.
