From: Jim Morrell <morrell at mitre> I sure like the sharp, crisp character set given on my IBM RGB monitor with the IBM color graphics board P3 jumper in place. The effect should be the same on any RGB (AMDEK II, NEC, PG, and others). This simple strap gives a single-dot horizontal font which I think looks much better than the standard double dot. Matter of fact, a VERY close reading of IBM's Tech Ref manual seems to have IBM recommending single dot font for "Color Monitors with direct drive input" (See p.2-48,50). The manual does not, however, tell you how to get it. For those with an adventuresome spirt, simply solder a quarter inch hunk of wire across the metal PC points enclosed within the P3 box on the CG card. P3 is at the center of the IBM CG card right below the MC6845 chip. Try it. You will like it!
