After using the PD version of FANSI-CONSOLE on my 6300 for about a year I decided to buy a copy for my new 6310 at work. After receiving the software I installed it and found that it did not work properly with the super-high resolution graphics modes of the 6310, but it did work with my 6300. I called Hersey and they could not solve my problem but it would be added to their list. I thought that I would hear from them again in a month or _few_, but they called when I was out for lunch with the following patch. I typed this in and rebooted and all modes worked as they should. They indicated that this was the first ocurrance of this problem with this machine so I decided to post this just to save someone the time and trouble of calling them. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<PATCH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In order to have FANSI-CONSOLE Version 2.00 work properly with the super high resolution graphics of the AT&T PC6310 the following patch must be performed to the program fconsole.dev. Enter DEBUG and type the following: Prompt Response - AA26A XXXX:A26A JMP A281 XXXX:A26C <Return> - A9BB6 XXXX:9BB6 RET XXXX:9BB7 <Return> - w - q Verify that the /X=3 switch is used on the same line as DEVICE=fconsole.dev in the file CONFIG.SYS. All programs that use any of the high resolution graphics modes of the 6310 will work as you expect them. This patch was supplied by Hersey Micro Consulting the morning that I reported the problem to them. -----------------------end-------------------------------- Mark L.
