[comp.sys.ibm.pc] EGA screen saver

brian@cvl.umd.edu (Brian Miller) (09/22/88)

I know this is in the process of being covered, but we had a little foo pa
with our news, and things got lost.

Does anyone have/know where it can be obtained a screen saver for
an EGA that blanks the screen through hardware and not software?
The reason is, during long file transfers, a software blank causes
problems with the up/download.

All help is appreciated and your name will be added to my Christmas list.

Sure, I've got a hardware solution -- toggle the power switch on the monitor.

No.. no smiley.
