[comp.lang.pascal] 16 Color CGA and Turbo 5.5...

PA_HAYNES@northeastern.edu (Sean A.R. Haynes) (08/06/89)

     I own a Tandy 1000 SL with comes a 16 color CGA card.  I have recently 
ordered the Technical Reference Manual to figure out exactly what I am dealing 
with.  I want to be able to get Turbo Pascal 5.5 to talk with my modem, my 
mouse, and handle my 16 color CGA.

     I attempted to use all 16 colors with the commands that are already set up, 
but the GRAPH.TPU unit automatically recognized my card as a 4 color CGA and 
wouldn't let me use the others.  I know that it is possible to add set-ups for 
the different cards into the Graphics Unit, but I haven't had time to check into 
it fully.

     Does anyone out there have a unit that will handle my CGA card.  I beleive 
that the card is the same (or atleast close to) the one that is used in the IBM 
PCjr.  I would also like to know if it is possible for there to be a mouse 
and/or modem unit and if so does anyone know where I could get it?

     Thanks.
