[comp.sys.apple] 80 Column RGB

doug@psuhcx.psu.edu (Doug Hughes) (01/06/90)

   I just purchased an extended 80 col /RGB card second hand. This card
it genuine apple and I have a few questions about it, since I have never
ever seen one before. First of all, there are two dips switches on the face
of the card, but I have no idea what they are for. There is also a single
jumper near the end of the board. I'd like to know it's purpose too. Any
body with information please contact me. Also, what kind of a cable would
I have to get to interface it with an RGB monitor. thanks.

The two DIPs on the card are for selecting the text color (similar to 
the gs' control panel), which can be green, blue, orange, or white (?).
Interestingly, inverse text always shows up on a white background, even when
the text color is selected differently.
