Fellow Propers..

Can the propellor chip be easily connected to a computer monitor (or Flat Panel Display)? Do you need a video card?
What sort of resoution can you get?
Thanks, John

    if you mean a VGA connection YES! look in the Propeller cookbook or the propeller manual for details.

    This question stimulates another: Has anyone tried sharing their display, keyboard, and mouse between a PC and Prop using a KVM switch? It ought to work and could be handy for developing certain kinds of programs.
