hi. im planning to setup chris' awesome doscab using an arcade monitor. what card can be compatible with dos, aside from arcadevga? also what software for dos is can be used for resolution adjustments, if using other video cards is possible at all.

I'm using an ATI rage now and it sucks....colors are never right and now even seem to cycle during game play...Those Trident cards seem to be a US-only thing 'cause I never heard of them before and cannot locate them here at all. I'm gonna try a TNT2 and if that won't work properly I'm gonna get me an ArcadeVGA.

I have tried several cards on arcade monitors and have yet to find anything that is as good as the arcadevga card from ultimarc. therefore my opinion is get an arcadevga card, they do exactly what they claim and are well worth the cost
