I know that the unexpanded IBM PC Convertible isn't any marvel of CGA compatibility. However, you can install the optional CRT Display Adapter for connecting to a CGA monitor or composite color monitor. The technical reference indicates that the Display Adapter offers full CGA compatibility, including a fully programmable MC6845, But can anyone tell me how compatible it really is with CGA? Does it pass all the CGA Compatibility Tester tests? Can the system (when expanded to 640KB) run 8088MPH? How close is the composite artifact color output to CGA? I know the default font varies from CGA, but the fonts are redefinable. Does the CRT Display Adapter display snow?
