[comp.sys.att] Targa-16 CPU compatiblity

wtm@neoucom.UUCP (05/05/87)

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody out there could relate experinces with
the Targa-16 or the Targa-24 boards in various CPUs, the Zenith 248
in partiuclar.

A while back we had a Targa-16 to experiment with for a few days.
I ran into a few bugs with getting random white dots in the video
on machines that were running above 6 MHz.  Yes, I did ensure that
the speed selector switch on the Targa was matched to the CPU clock
rate.  I was able to work successfully on a Victor Technologies 286
at 6 MHz.  I couldn't get rid of the White dots at any clock speed
on a Wells American I tried-- I've found the Wells to be rather
problematic in other operational areas, so this doesn't
particularly surprise me.

One of our researchers is going to get the Bioquant image analysis
system that uses the Targa.  He's picked out the Zenith as the
computer he likes best-- so, I'd like to know if it's OK to use the
Targa/Z-248 combination.

Thanks for any comments...
