I thought the Amiga didn't >need a display card? Will "Hedley mode" be standard from C=? 1 or 2 bit planes only. 1008x800 (or 1008x1024) in 4 shades of gray, only. Runs on the Viking Moniterm monitor with paper-white (soft white) display. "Correct display card" refers to the display card that is mounted inside the monitor. It has enough ram to store the entire image, since the Amiga software sends the screen to the display card in 6 sections. Requires 1/10 (or 1/15) second to process an entire screen update. Works with any Amiga (including A1000) with the right graphics.library software. A lot of the dealers have this A2024 monitor, including HT Electronics in Sunnyvale, Calif. They use it for demoing A-MAX. (That Mac emulator understands how to access the added resolution.) -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: JMS@F74.TYMNET.COM or jms@gemini.tymnet.com McDonnell Douglas FSCO | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-D21 | PDP-10 support: My car's license plate is "POPJ P," San Jose, CA 95161-9019 | narrator.device: "I didn't say that, my Amiga did!"
