Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
There has been recent confusion regarding which of the new PS/2 Monitors can be attached to the relevant system. The following should clarify the correct configurations:

Compatible:
Standard(85xx),Value Line(63xx),Premium (95xx)
85xx System can drive - 85xx, 63xx and 952x Monitors
63xx System can drive - 85xx, 63xx and 952x Monitors
95xx System can drive - 85xx,95xx and 63xx Monitors

NOTE:
8506 and 8508 Monitors require the use of an Image Adapter. Attachment of these Monitors to other monitor adapters or monitor ports will produce unpredictable results.

Not Compatible:
63xx System cannot drive - 951x Monitors
85xx System cannot drive - 95xx Monitors

NOTE:
85xx microchannel systems with XGA-2 Adapter/A card P/N87F4774 installed can drive the 95xx Monitors.
