[comp.sys.ibm.pc] The Sony CPD1302 experience

Hi,

Here is some interim progress in using the 1302 with my Paradise clone VGA
card.

I have successfully run:

	MS Excel in 800x600  (believe 16 colors, how do I find out?)
	MS Excel in 1024x768 (believe 16 colors) I loaded the IBM 8514/A
	fonts with this setup and it looks very sharp. If I can get the
	screen size problem fixed, I'll use this resolution. The 800x600
	is pretty darn good too.

	Ventura Publisher in 800x600 (I was able to dynamically change
	colors using the define color menu on a continuous scale... 256?)

	Ventura Publisher in 1024x768 (monochrome... my color driver would
	not install due to a load error of sorts. If you have the color
	driver for your Paradise card, I'd like to try it.)

	The 1024x768 for Ventura never ran under Desqview. Excel ran with
	both Super resolutions with Desqview fine. From the 1k resolution,
	I did have to fiddle with screen size significantly. [not
	acceptable] with 800x600, I have got it to a point that if Sony
	cant fix it, I'll live with it.

I still have to take my entire system to Sony so they can attempt to
adjust. I will keep the net posted.
