You'd be better off using the GS monitor via the Colorswitch - overall it's
a better solution than CGA. You'd have to give up the Colorswitch to use
CGA because it connects to the same location on PCT. Also, if you used a
CGA monitor, you'd still have to have the AppleColor RGB plugged in to the
GS video port (a two monitor setup) - the CGA wouldn't display GS video,
only PC video (ie when MS-DOS were running on the PCT).

You can't use VGA or SVGA unless you have a Second Sight video card in the
GS and even then I don't know whether a monitor attached to Second Sight
would display PCT video - again, you would probably have to have a separate
CGA monitor attached directly to the PCT.
