Graphics modes

The table on the following page shows the image sizes for monitors that can
be connected to the monitor port, along with the number of colors or grays
supported with 2 MB of VRAM and with the optional expansion to 4 MB
of VRAM.

There are also many special PCI monitor cards available from other
manufacturers that can support other monitors and special video
requirements. See your Apple-authorized dealer for information.

Note: On some monitors from manufacturers other than Apple, the connector
pinout designates one pin for both green video and timing synchronization.
These “sync on green” monitors are not compatible with Workgroup Server
8550 systems. If you’re not sure what type of monitor you have, check with
your dealer.
