[comp.sys.ibm.pc] TEXT and GRAPHICS

djna@datlog.co.uk ( David Artus ) (08/20/87)

Does anyone know of, or better still has used, a graphics card for a 
PC which when used under MS/PC DOS allows mixed TEXT and GRAPHICS displays,
AND which also :-

   . is IBM mono compatible
   . has the same format for the text attribute byte regardless of
     whether graphics are currebly being displayed.
   . can be used without requiring windowing software.

Any ideas welcome, Thanks.

The AT&T/OLIVETTI Display Enhancement Board allows overlaid text and graphics.
Don't know if it will work in a pc other than a 6300/6300plus/6310.
It should do what you want.
