Subject: Allegro and EGA

This is a totally silly and off-the-wall question:

Is it at all possible to use Allegro with only an
EGA monitor?  Like, only use the sound and timer
features?  Or has anyone written a driver for the EGA?
If not, is there some basic incompatibility or could
I write one?

The package sounds (looks) wonderful, it has all sorts 
of things in it I'd love to do, but I only have an
EGA monitor here.  (And before someone says "Go and
buy a VGA monitor, they can send me the money!).  

The documentation says that a minumum configuration is 
with a VGA card and monitor, but I'd like to be able to 
use just the sound and timer stuff on its own.  Is that 
possible, or am I really on a bad track here?

    Chris
