        The specs I referenced above are those put out by NEC for that
monitor. It's doubtful that the II would do be able to do 800 x 600 in
it's vertical freq. range, which is why NEC lists it as a max.
resolution of 800 x 560. I believe at that resolution they list it at a
vert. freq. of 56 Hz. Even if it could take the vertical freq. low
enough to get to 800 x 600 I wouldn't want to have to look at it. 56 Hz
will flicker enough as it is.
