ATT 6300+ video questions

Hi,
I've this ATT 6300+ machine(99% AT clone, something like a 286 with XT
bus?) running MS-DOS with 20M harddisk and the monochrome AT&T monitor.
For all I know, it supports CGA and the "AT&T" graphic mode(in black and
white, of course!)
Now that I can get my hands on a color CGA monitor and am thinking about
hooking it to the 6300+.

Now questions:
1. Can I use a standard CGA monitor on this machine? (Yes/No)
2. If Yes, how can I hook it up?  New cable?  I seem to remember the
   AT&T monitor has a connector quite different from the stand CGA
   connector.  Does anyone has the pin-out?
3. If No, can I disable the original video adapter so I can put in my
   own video adapter and monitor(how about VGA?  If I'm going through
   all this trouble, I may as well going ALL THE WAY!)  How to do it?
   Any instructions? (Step by step walk thru will be great!) 

Please reply by email.  If there are enough interest, I'll post the
summary.

Thanks for your help
Kelvin
