I have a zenith 248 machine with zenith's ega video card and their color monitor (model 1490 I think). My system came with no documentation on how to use the card/monitor in the non-standard 640x480 mode. Can anybody tell me what I need to do to use this mode (interrupts to set)? And, is there any software supporting this mode? Thanks in advance, Dan dhc@medusa.cs.purdue.edu +-+

Ventura Desktop (glitch) Deluxe Paint II Microsoft Windows (glitch) Dr. Halo III Those marked glitch have the annoying habit of screwing with the bottom two lines.. I think the programs use them for "under the pointer" storage. It takes a little getting used to. Also, from our test, this mode gives you an enhanced color pallette (16 out of 4k is our guess). The morale.. be careful how you handle this thing :-] |---------------------------------------------------------------------|-----| | Barrett Kreiner UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!pervect | :-] | | Technical Manager, Fine Arts Computer Lab|--------------------------|-----| | Ball State University.
