As my wife is a happy user of an Apple Macintosh Portrait Display which has
been connected to a vintage Mac IIsi, I am now looking for a possibility to
connect the Portrait monitor to either my "new" (newer) Mac 6400/200 or
(preferably) to the Pentium II (sorry) of my wife/kids.

Does anyone know of a modern video card for Mac or Pentium which can drive
the Apple Macintosh Portrait Display monitor? Specs follow below.

Display area 640 horizontal by 870 vertical pixels
203.2 mm by 276.1 mm
Scanning frequencies 68.85 kHz horizontal
75 Hz refresh rate vertical
Dot clock rate 57.2832 MHz
Dot density 80 dots per inch

Most PCI mac video cards probably will work. Certainly, all the PCI
video subsystems in G3s (which are based on ATI chips) support that
resolution. I would guess that any ATI card would work. And you can
get an XClaim 3D for the 6400 with enough RAM to do 32-bit color for
about $100.
